Default which tire dressings?

I'm looking for something to keep my tires looking semi-glossy, just clean look. I don't like using tires dressing, but I'm getting tired of looking at my dirt stained tires. I talked to a tire shop employee and he recommends Black Magic since it's silicon-based and won't take the moisture out of the tires. What brand do you guys use that doesn't make the tires crack over time? Thanks.

the meguiars cream works wonders.. not to mention "it last for weeks, not days" .. it saturates the tires so they wont turn brown.

I guess Meguiar sounds good. Will it make the tires crack after a while? Thanks.

Black Magic works fine, and even though meguairs works for weeks not days, its costs a hell of a lot more.

Meguiar's endurance gel. I got it free at a show awhile ago, been using it ever since. It's good stuff. Lasts for weeks not days.

Castrol.. The Purple Bottle. Don't know the exact name but prefer that over Meguiar's. Nice wet look and last a long time.
