    What do others like? I have favorites for waxes, sealant, glass, interior. But tires and wheels, I've never found anything that I like well enough to keep using. Lately, I tried Griot's Heavy Duty Cleaner - meh.

    I never heard of that coating Steve. It looks great. I have tried the optimum coating with mixed results, mostly depending in how clean the tire is. Some spots I thought I got really clean I must not have. Your tire looks great. How are you liking the defenders so far?

    When it gets in stock I'm going to order, any other recommendations for other products to get while I'm at it?

    That’s pretty much it. It’s the main reason I got away from it. Fantastic product, but it takes time to get, and shipping can get expensive. They also tend to run out frequently. Great company and customer service though. I almost always get free samples and goodies with my order.

    They sent me a sample a while back of their Vortex wax. While my truck has never looked better than when I used it, 250.00 for a jar is more than I’m willing to spend. That said, it looked so good that I did consider it.

    I will say that CG Tire Kicker looks very similar to Waxaddict Tyre Feeder when applied, but doesn’t last anywhere near as long. It’s cheap and readily available at Walmart if you don’t mind applying more frequently.
