Applied a couple of layers of Zymol Atlantique Glaze today. Pretty happy with the results.

Excellent look and nice wet look to the shine.
What did you do to the tires? 
Does that shine last a long time?
I'm using the Armor All spray on foam for my tires, and they go dirty and dull after a few days.

Thanks everyone for the kind comments.  I have used quite a few waxes /  sealants over the years.
Up until now I have been using Zaino products, which give great results. I use Z6 spray to keep the finish
Looking good between waxes.

The Zymol Atlantque Glaze is good stuff, it should be at over $1300 a jar. I was lucky enough to have
a sampler kit that included the Atlantque Glaze.
As for the tyres I use Greased Lightning Brilliant Black. The stuff is cheap and gives good long lasting
Finish.
I have tried many many things in the past. The key is to have a well prepared paint surface. The only
way to do this is with machine polishing to remove paint swirls and imperfections. Once this is done
Most waxes I’ve tried give a similar result.

My chance to show off! I switched from Zymol to Megueirs, but I still use the Zymol crystal glass cleaner
