Armourall is the Daddy.

Repeated application just makes it better and better.  Rain can knacker it though.

I have used some of the silicone type spray on my roof - I soaked a sponge in the spray then wiped it across the roof. It has brought it up a treat, and the rain just forms into little droplets like that on newly waxed bonnet. Seems to have done the trick really well.
I don't own this anymore - I just can't be arsed to change the picture
