I struggle keeping the truck clean, especially having to traverse gravel driveways. I find a quick run through car wash (gasp!), then wipe down with this Auto Renu stuff works the best! Come @ me with the car wash hate.

A month in so far. I just do the following below once a week. Seems to work pretty well. It’s the damn front windshield that is constantly dirty. Got a wand, doesn’t help. did it manually. its never ending… its like fog lives inside the truck, lol

1. Spray it down with water
2. Soap Foam Spray
3. two bucket hand wash with rags, one rag per panel
4. rinse
5. hand dry in garage

Also use glass cleaner throughout the week on the panels for fingerprints :)

Wrap it. I have not washed mine in 6 weeks. I just wipe it with ONR on the front due to dead bugs. Best decision I made was wrapping it. I couldn't stand the finger prints, dark spots, and streaks all over the truck.

I tried this method, two hours later, I was exhausted. But this is the right way!

I put protectaclear on mine and didn't bother to wash it till now, a month later. Only washed it because of all the bugs on the front after a road trip. I just used tap water and a microfiber cloth to get the bugs off then sprayed the rest of the truck with the hose. The water left some barely noticable water spots but otherwise looks all clean again.

Self-use car wash and a drying towel works great.

I find the self car wash places are the absolute easiest method. As someone posted elsewhere (https://www.cybertruckownersclub.co...-clean-a-cybertruck-cheap-and-easy-too.17623/) different pH solutions work wonders on removing fingerprints. He used the summer bug wash, my place doesn’t have that, but so have found simply soaking the truck with the tire wash solution, letting it sit, rinsing, then hitting it with the prewash, letting it sit a minute, then the normal power wash, high power rinse, then spotless rinse pretty much takes care of anything.

You can get alcohol in a spray bottle at CVS. I use that for fingerprints.

I used Undrdog Pro ceramic. Very easy to apply, wait about 10 minutes and rub with a couple microfiber towels. One panel at a time. Makes it easy to clean and protects from bird poop etc. Tried Everbrite before and just don't.

Just over two weeks in and all I've done so far is run it through my local automatic car wash every few days. Maybe I'm just not that picky, but it looks pretty good to me after a wash. I've only done basic washes so far - has anyone had any trouble with the "tri-foam" waxes automatic car washes like to use? I've been tempted to try it to see if it shines it up a bit more.

At some point I'll do a more thorough clean, but I've just been really busy and it's so easy to just run through the wash :)
