Ignore the detailers, Sprayway Glass Cleaner is the easiest way to clean the exterior of your Cybertruck

[Fausto]

I’ve been using SprayWay for 7 months and have never seen that. How long did you let it sit? it will dry and leave marks if it sits too long. the fix is simple: respray and wipe off.

This is a bit of an extreme example but if you don't remove all of the residue correctly you will see the orange smears (similar to the image color) where you have wiped the sprayaway. I have then gone back and used a citric acid product to remove the smears and repeated until fully removed.

Sprayaway is good, but don't use a lot, otherwise you get this

Do you have anymore BS narratives to spread around?

Your claim was you will get stains if you use "a lot" of Sprayway.

Now it sounds like you are saying you will get stains if you spray it on and don't wipe it off. Obviously, if the surface is dirty, you spray on a liquid solvent, and don't wipe all of it off, then the surface will still be dirty after the solvent evaporates. Duh!

Wow. This is clearly a touchy subject.

I'm just explaining what I experience. The only BS I see on this forum is that it's easy to clean this truck.

As I said. The picture is only a representation of the 'oranging'. I've tried a few different cleaners to achieve a flat finish. I agree that sprayaway is probably the best so far but if excessive amounts are used then you can see any residue give the orange smears.

This is after prepping the surface with either citrisurf or barkeepers spray (not that liquid that will polish the metal)

Duh. Really? Grow up

I just think it's sad how you try to throw shade on Sprayway (and the ease with which the Cybertruck can be maintained), first you claim the residue happens if you use it "a lot", and then you say that's no longer the problem, the problem is if you fail to wipe it all off. Then, in your most recent post above, you switch back to the problem being caused by "excessive amounts" being used.

I've got news for you. Sprayway is simply a blend of solvents and surfactants (including water) that dilute the dirt. The more you use, the more you will dilute the dirt and contaminates on the stainless steel. But the dirt and contaminates don't just magically disappear, you have to wipe them off as they absorb into a clean towel. If you let them dry on there, yes, there will be residue. This should be common sense. The goal is to not let it dry on, you wipe it off just as the instructions say.

Your claims are all over the board and not grounded in reality. That's why I said "Duh".

You have tons of people on this thread whose direct, first-hand experience says Sprayway works great and makes Cybertruck care super easy, but you want to push the narrative that the Cybertruck is hard to clean if you use "excessive" amounts of Sprayway. Or, alternatively, if you don't wipe it off. Duh! You are supposed to wipe it off.

WTF? Have you ever owned a painted car and tried to keep it nice looking? I have, many of them. I still do. The Cybertruck is the least fussy of all of them to keep looking new.

Obviously touched a nerve.
What I am getting at is that it is probably superficially clean but when looked upon at different angles you are likely to see the orange smears if you do not remove all of the product. Therefore, I would argue that using too much is counterproductive.

Obviously you're having a bad weekend so perhaps take 5 minutes 'cleaning' your truck poorly to reset your mood.

Ps. Do you own shares in plz corp?

An acid won't remove oil smears, which is what sprayway residue is. You removed the marks through water and surfactant that was mixed into your acid product (usually it's there to make it easier to spread).

Couldn’t agree more, it gets off all the water, stains and marks after a wash. Super easy and great cheap product to clean. But does take a little elbow grease to buff it out.

No nerves touched, except the nerve that doesn't like misinformation.

Using too much Sprayway will not result in residue being left behind.

Incorrect. The instructions say to wipe it off with a clean rag. If you don't remove all the product you are not using the product as directed. The problem is not using too much, it's not wiping it all off.

Ps. Do you own shares in plz corp?

I have zero commercial interest here, I just dislike dumb statements that give people the wrong idea.

I don't even use heavy amounts of Sprayway, because I pre-wash with soap and water, but that doesn't mean I can't spot BS when I see it. The more Sprayway you use, the more rags it will take to wipe it off, but the cleaner your surfaces will be. Sprayway is a blend of solvents, applying a lot of it will actually dilute the contaminants more, which means less residue will be left behind after you wipe it off.

Been using Sprayway only since I got my truck. Looks great. No issues. Yeah if you look with a magnifying glass it's not perfect, but I'm not anal about it.

I've used Sprayway to remove fingerprints the first day I go my truck and it seems to work well. I never used soap to wash any of my vehicles except for the tires. I just water down the vehicle and use a sponge to clean the vehicle if the water doesn't remove the dirt or grime. I found that soap just removes any wax I have on my vehicle. I haven't tried those pH neutral soaps. I'm not sure why a pH neutral soap would ever be used because that's the same pH as water. Soap is supposed to be >7 pH so maybe I am missign something. Maybe since my cybertruck will never be waxed, I can try out using soap on it but I haven't had any issues with spots so far.

awesome garage!

I found two different sprayway on Amazon and bought them both. One is glass cleaner and the other is stainless steel (oil based) did anyone use the stainless steel cleaner?

 

[seussiii]

Dawn + water + squeegee to dry

Beer is typically involved as well.

I think the beer is the main ingredient in this process.
