Find me an easier vehicle to clean than Cybertruck

[carsly]

Two+ months parked outside, under some trees (yes, I need to trim back yet again) and all I've done is hose it off, dry it with a leaf blower and every few weeks hit it with Sprayway ammonia-free glass cleaner and wipe down with a clean microfiber cloth.

No rust spots, no tarnish marks, no discoloration of panels. Also no ceramic coatings, soap, waxes, Bar Keepers Friend, Citisurf or anything else fancy. Heck, I haven't even used my pressure washer on it as a regular hose washes everything off - including fingerprints (of which there are few).

Maybe it's the Sprayway, I don't know, but this is the easiest vehicle to clean that I've owned in 30+ years of driving.

I did the Citrisurf 77 treatment and it basically cleans itself if I drive through rain, even the fingerprints. Everything except the front grill with the bug guts, which take a bit more effort. And the rear bumper that collects dust / dirt needs the hose.

And I'm on my 4th interior windshield cleaning session due to off-gassing.

I'll concede the interior of the front windshield is a PITA with the off-gassing haze. I've cleaned it twice in two months. Hoping that's not a monthly item!

I do notice less crap/crub on the rear quarter panels after installing the mud flaps, but the drips and water stains on the rear tailgate, while easy to wipe off, are a little annoying due to how visible they are after just a light rain.

My CT looks great after a fresh rain.

The only problem spot I have is a bird poop stain that I tried to clean off with multiple products (IronX, Touchless Wash, Dish soap). The products made the stain more visible and left water marks. I think bar keepers friend should remove it and I plan to try soon.

It would be easier to clean if it were smaller. And shorter. I use a stepstool lol

I found you an easier vehicle to clean, this here matchbox, just a quick swirl or two in the dirty dish water and it’s ready to be stepped on in the middle of the night without feet protection ofc.

Trimming back your bushes will make your Cybertruck look bigger.

Looks like it's missing the wheel covers and somehow has door handles. I 'm sure both will be fixed with a software update. Probably the same update that enables FSD to make sure it's always got a pointy edge aimed at a toe joint.

I picked up a no-name brand version of one of these from Home Depot (or Target?) a few years ago. Agree that it's awesome and a massive time saver.

I’ve been wildly unsuccessful in cleaning the off gassing. How do you clean it?

Spray away or Griots glass cleaner. The trick is you need to change your micro-fiber often. Do a pass, change it. Typically Ill clean it with 3 microfibers before its actually clean.

Using this to be able to reach into the front edge of the windshield.

I like Windex Wipes for this job as it's critical to keep a clean surface on the wipe. It takes me 4-6 wipes, using both sides, to get the window clean so I try not to take more than 3-4 swipes back and forth for every section with one side of one wipe. Fewer swipes per side is better if you have a lot of film build-up.

Downside is it uses up a lot of wipes, but it's either that or a lot of microfiber cloths and those are more expensive.

Agree, stupid easy to keep clean. Formula 409 to take bugs off the front panel of the frunk, followed by glass cleaner there and also the tailgate. Done.

I still see a stepstool with this product, although that model dude looks kinda short tbh
