Recently tried Opti-Coat and it was meh.

I used Gyeon Q2 and liked the result:

Beautiful Defender!!

I have satin finish and they’re incredibly easy to clean and when dirty they still look great.

Thanks Grouse. I came from a blacked out Expedition and really didn’t want another black one either, so I decided to play off the silver of the bumpers and side steps by having the roof and squares wrapped. I toyed with leaving the wheels silver but they looked too “factory” for me.

Great build 4Corsa! Did you debate the black contrast roof and/or the smooth satin rim? Trying to finish my white build now. Leaning Yulong but haven't made the final. Switched from Carpathian Grey. Felt like a little plain for a Defender.

Still absolutely love the Defender. Went mountain biking today and it looks so good in the forest.

I like how these TSW Nord wheels and Nitto tires turned out. Sorry about it being at the tire shop in the background. Went straight from there to have the roof rack, ladder, steps, Johnson bars, stealth wrap and winch installed. All I will need after is LED lights. Will update.
