I use that Armor-All spray stuff or a product called No Touch by
Permatex. I get the goo at Fred Meyer or Safeway, whichever has it on
sale. But after I spray it on I scrub the "TIRE" with a sturdy brush and
then rinse it off. Leaves the tires nice and clean without that silly
unnatural shiny wet look that just attracts dust. Try it, I think you'll
prefer the look. Especially on a Mercedes. Now if you're talking BMW
then that silly shiny wet look is appropriate, I suppose >;-}

We use Autoglym Instant Tyre Dressing at our dealership, seems ok

Wooah hooooo my friend... 2 steps... ok.
Get Armour All Extreme Tire Shine it looks like water in a Windex bottle.
Then get Black Magic tire tint (in sliver) the other colors are a bit much.
use the foam sponge to apply the stuff. spray in other words on to the
sponge then whip. if you want crack head crazy shine then use the tire tint
after the first application. wooh shines so hard! and doesn't wash off...
that is the crazy part.
