Cheap or mix-at-home tire dressing that gives flat/matte finish

I like the way my tires look after running my car through one of the better drive-through car washes. They look nice and dark black, but not shiny at all. And it lasts, at least until the next rain. However, all the tire dressings I've seen on store shelves promise the shiny "wet look".

What's a good, cheap dressing that will last and won't give the shiny look? As I said in the title, I'm willing to mix up something if it'll work and give the results I'm looking for.

303 Aerospace Protectant looks matte when put on tires. It's not over the shelf, although you could probably find it at a store that sells marine (as in ocean) products for boats and the like.
