Cybertruck Corrosion (per Owner Manual)

[Woodrick]

I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone experimenting with different surface finishes on a Cybertruck yet. Those people obsessed with how their truck looks all seem to gravitate towards covering the metal up with a plastic film. Go figure!

Have you considered switching to a linear finish, like a DeLorean, on your Cybertruck by using a coarse Scotchbrite and a linear polishing motion?

Or, how about a "ring finish"

?

And how do you remediate that if something happens in the future?

UPDATE: The discolored spot is 99% gone, I'm having a hard time finding it now. But there are definitely scratches, what you might call "swirl marks" on a clearcoat.

I didn't see the scratches yesterday because it was overcast. I can't see them from a distance, and even up close it requires a strong point-light source (i.e. direct sunlight) to see. Not sure which operation induced them, probably it was the proscribed "green" Scotchbrite pad. Hmmph.

Looks like I'll be asking Santa for an orbital polisher hahahaha

Polishing is going to take you down a hole new rabbit hole.

Tried the Renaissance wax since I had some around. Left too much haze for me, so had to then remove it.

Also used a clay bar on the whole thing and sorta regret that. Left some swirls that I then had to work on more to get out.

But all in all it's looking good again.
