It's a pro job although not to my taste.
I hope that is just water on the tires and not "tire shine" product.
Nearly every type of tire shine or tire so-called protectant chemically weakens the rubber in the sidewall by diffusing in and partially dissolving the surface rubber to make its surface smooth and therefore shiny. The dangerous part of the damage inside the sidewall material, once applied and even forgotten, happens slowly over some time. Re-applying it accelerates it.
Tire manufacturers recommend against the use of such products for safety reasons but they don't name any of them. Got to be careful with choosing those products and find one that can be proven not to damage the sidewall rubber.
