Keeping moldings/tires black

What is the best product to use in black moldings and tires to make them black that lasts long?

i would use armor all on the moldings and i like the tire shine gell stuff, i like to put it on the tire and then wipe it around with a cloth to get as much on there as possible

i hope i make some sense

I use Stoner's Trim Shine for the trim and Platinum Tire Gel for the tires.

Mother's "Back to Black" is really good.

we use a purple tire shine thing at the dealership i work at. i dont know who makes it sorry. but it works wonders on faded textured tops

all of the above are good, but ultimately I decided to have all the black molding painted to match the car. It looks great, provides the same effect it had on the 5 series (E39) when bmw changed all the trim to body color. Also it doesn't cost to much. For the window pillars, I found some really carbon fiber add ons. May sound tacky at first, but it actually looks really sweet, gives nice clean and understated look.
