Keeping Cybertruck clean, do you, or don't you?

[seussiii]

Is drying that much of a chore? I've also read that some people just squeegee the water off the panels rather than actually drying it traditionally.

As others have said, Sprayway (the glass cleaner, not stainless cleaner) works great for me. No need to power wash mine, but others seem to need it. My advice is DO NOT use the rust remover that some detailers recommend. My wife tried some and it removed the dark spot for sure, but it left very light patches and streaks that look like it has been polished -- in other words, the patina was removed fo the finish is uneven and noticeable if you look. I expect normal aging will restore the even tone, but I don't know yet. And it will take some time. It is also a pretty nasty chemical. You might put swirls in the finish with BKF so I would test that very carefully if you do -- test on some place that is not noticeable. For anything stubborn like tar or bugs, I have just used a nylon pad made for teflon surfaces. A little rubbing with Sprayway has taken care of everything so far.

Is Sprayaway glass cleaner safe for windows that are tinted?

Not really sure. I haven't really needed to clean the inside windows recently. The last time I used windex before I started using sprayaway (primarily the outside).

For everything I've used it for on the outside this is the best. I've never used it on the inside.
I've never used it on the wheels or the plastic.

I see, this is more than just windows. THanks!

Oh yeah, sorry. Its used for the stainless, plates, glass. I don't use it on the plastic (a personal assumption its not good for it) and I don't use it on the wheels and tires.

I have a partial wrap through stickers and I've had no problem with those. Cleans them just as well.

someone please make a robot that can clean the inside of the windshield and the outside at the same time. I think this is a good idea even without the robot. Get your self one of those magnetic aquarium glass cleaner. where half go's on the inside and the other half on the outside you move the outside part and the one inside follows along so it cleans both sides simultaneously.

I just run mine through the car wash; no problemo. The inside of the windshield is a hard reach but other than that the car wash works great; none of the problems people have posted online.

Same

What are some of the products everyone uses to wash their cybertrucks particularly the ones without a wrap.
I'm interested in maintaining it clean as it comes. Not interested in coatings, films or protective measures here.
1)what do you use to wash it?
2)what do you use after the wash?
3)what do you use on the wheels?
4)what do you use on the plastics?
5)what do you use on the glass?
6)what do you use on the interior surfaces
like seats, carpet, dashboard and door panels

I've heard people use bartenders' friend on the stainless steel.
I haven't tried it don't know if it works.

I wash it every couple of weeks. I spray on some diluted oxalic acid (barkeeper‘s friend) . I dilute it with water and mix it in a small sprayer I use about a quarter pound per Wash and run it through an automatic car wash Just after one minute of spraying it on or 5min It doesn’t really seem to work any better if it stays on there longer. And it looks just like new. The car wash I go to Has neutral PH on all their products. It is not an Express Car Wash or a gas station Car Wash. I would not recommend those As they all have high pH soaps. I’ve attached images of the product, the sprayer, and a photo of it just recently washed, which was yesterday. Adam’s graphing Tire dressing on the Tannu cover and the wheels on all the trim works great. Leather cleaner and leather treatment on the interior. I would NEVER wrap the Cybertruck as you have to hand wash it to maintain the warranty. 6k to wrap and 10 years of hand washing is not my cup of tea. I honestly like the stainless steel look . Once I figure out how easy it is to keep clean it’s not really an issue any more. So far I have about 12 times I’ve done this to the truck and it looks great every single time. I’ve heard of people saying they’ve cleaned it with barkeeper’s friend and it comes out really shiny So they’re scared to do it anymore. Well, that’s just because it actually clean And that’s how it looked when you received the truck from the dealer for the first time.

Check out the product Windshield Wow. It’s exactly what you are explaining. That’s what I use in my truck when need to the a deep clean on the windshield or roof glass.

How do you get all the way to the bottom of the windshield from the inside. because I have found that those last 2 inches of glass where the space between the glass and dashboard narrows down to nothing are almost impossible to clean. I made the mistake of spaying window cleaner near the top and allowing some of it to run all the way down. I didn't realize that my tool on a pole made for extending your reach on large windows. would not be able to get all the way down in between. and it has a pretty narrow profile. And now I have drip marks along the bottom of my glass on the inside forever. Any ideas how to clean this tight out of reach area?

Invisible Glass Reach and Clean has a thin edge that allows it to get to the bottom of the glass.

I usually hand clean it after the cheapest auto non-rolling car wash. I use Amazon Baby wipes then followed up with windex (non-ammonia) wipes. Usually taking up to 8 wipes of each for each cleaning. So not much and it’s personally cleaned.
I would not advise the specialty cleaning products posted on websites unless you just want to hand them dollars, in my opinion. You can use basic cleaners, but just mindful on the ingredients others have mentioned on this thread.
