Took our Cybertruck to car wash (photos) + update on ProtectaClear. No fingerprints for weeks now

No, the manual for CT says it. It's not because the stainless can't handle the cloth brushes. It's because every car manufacturer puts that in their manual as a cover their asses clause just in case a brush that's in disrepair catches the corner of a plastic trim piece or something and yanks it off.

To be fair, ever have a stainless sink or outdoor stainless counter? Thise scratch like crazy and why we replaced with the "granite" style. Now maybe CT is completely different but I bet it scratches as we have seen some at delivery.

We've had our Cybertruck for over a year and we see no such scratches.

I took mine through three car washes. The charge port door loosened up and now opens up with a stiff breeze. Asked to have it repaired at SC but it was within spec so they left it. The charger door opens up during car washes so I stopped taking mine to them.

I also tore up the car wash brushes and found them hooked to various parts of the truck.

ah bummer, I’ve taken our Cybertruck to a hand car wash with no brushes, for over a year pretty much every week, and we’ve had no issues.

I been doing auto car wash for a year. No complaints. I don’t think a coating is necessary. Mine look shiny and even. I used barmaid a year ago and washed often (2-4 times a month) It looks better than a year ago. The finger prints are not a problem. I think the wax:ceramic in the auto wash makes the finger prints less visible.
