This product restores it to its original shiny silver shine.
A consumer available product that has that is Bar Keepers Friend, This contains oxalic acid as its primary active ingredient. Oxalic acid is effective in removing rust, stains, and mineral deposits from a variety of surfaces specially cybertrucks stainless steel. It restores shine. There has to be lots of other products out there that has it in there. Please tell me what they are.

Yes, I find Oxalic Acid very useful to remove rust stains. I use it often when I’m restoring cars. It is versatile and relatively safe to handle. It is especially useful for removing rust stains from stainless steel.

There are several product options, but I currently have powdered oxalic acid in a 1 lb box made by Snowcap Products. With this product, you add a measured amount to water to make a container of acid. A little goes a long way.
I soak parts in it before mechanically removing the rest of the stain using 600 grit sandpaper, but I haven’t had to useit on the DeLorean’s panels and probably won’t use it on the Cybertruck.

Citrisurf 77 is similar and what tesla recommends and isn't as as caustic as BKF to the finish over time. I've used it and it definitely restores the shine and makes fingerprints less visible and you can go longer between any washing modality IMHO.

I just use ironx. It doesn't dissolve the protective chromium oxide layer nor does it create an opportunity for refinishing the steel on accident. Just spray it on, rinse it off thoroughly. Looks perfect every time, removes calcium deposits, iron and rust deposits, and doesn't remove the patina. My truck is almost permanently finger print free as the whole thing is seasoning really well!
