Re: My trick to getting rubber tires black and shiny!
Pretty much all car products use a silicone of some sort, Amino-alkoxy dimethylsiloxane or other tongue twisters. You'll pretty much see historically the plethora of products that replaced the old Meguiar's #16 and Simonize waxes in a can coincided with the commercialization of silicone chemistry by Dow Corning and GE in the late 60's.

Just for the record, it's not the economy, liquid black polish that comes with the sponge on the lid. It's a premium grade cream.
Here is what I used... I bought them at either Macy's or Nordstoms
Shoe polish cream
Premium Shoe Polish - Allen Edmonds - Shoe Care Products
Instant shine sponge. They say it's black, but it's really clear.
Johnston & Murphy: INSTANT SHINE SPONGE - Black
Brush for buffing to a shine
