I don't remember where but I've heard good things about the Black Magic line of tire products. They're readily available (walmart) and have a number of options for glossiness, application (pressurized, spray bottle), etc.

I've stopped applying the stuff manually, I just have the rain-x blades now that have that stuff impregnated in the rubber or something? I don't know how it works exactly but it's like magic, I put those blades on and within the first day or so of rain, the rain beads off as if I'd applied rain-x by hand directly. I forget which rain-x blades they are exactly, you should be able to figure it out from looking at the packaging which one self-applies. Worth every penny.

I've been running those through some pretty godawful storms in Iowa since last winter and have had zero issues. The blades function very well in and of themselves, too: I live on about 2 miles of gravel, so they're having to put up with a lot of abusive grit pretty constantly. Hasn't impacted their performance at all that I can tell.

Unless you're doing 70+, then it pretty much does.
