Meguirs Endurance Tyre Gel is great stuff and will do a good job.

Others may recommend a heatgun, but I've never tried it.

as already suggested use smooth peanut butter if you want a cheap option. look in my project thread to see before and after pics. you can get about 4 pots of peanut butter for the price of one bottle of proper car cleaning stuff lol. i only done it as im jobless atm and it worked a treat.

Shoe polish. Sponge top one Morrisons homebrand or asda one. Better than anything else.
