Jeff, what wax do you use for your wheels & paint?

Haven't waxed this truck yet, but I use Meguiars Gold (black can).

I use Wheel Wax (not sure of the brand) for my wheels.

Rear window defroster, check.
Heated seats, check.
Heat works in the cab, check.
Yep I'm ready for those 2 days that we get down to freezing here.

a couple more things

looks for loose wires, wipers, if you have a block heater check to see if it works, check what your coolent is rated to, make sure 4wd works...

Along with washing, cleaning,oil, rotating tires etc...
put my winter kit in the bed and get some sand bags back there too
I go drive in the parking lot of the gym in 4wd to make sure it worksand then once theres snow on the ground go to the gym parking lot in 2wd and do donuts and try to dodge light poles
