I armour-all mine before racing and after washing and it seems to work well.

I use el cheapo "Tyre-Shine" from the Two Dollar Shop or lanolin spray like Lanox, depending how rich or poor I am that particular week. They both work fine as does Armor-All and its two dollar shop equivalent.

WD40 - can be used all over the bike - makes it easier to clean afterwards as well.
