Anyone polish the stainless steel yet?

[Ampt Up]

Has anyone tried to polish the stainless and then coat it with either a wax or ceramic coating or PPF ??

I’ve done the BKF and Windex twice. Works great

I definitely want to see it done, and definitely don't want to do it myself lol.

I have thought about it, think it would be cool and look great. That much mirror at that many angles would be terrifying in the sun though. I am afraid I would cause a lot of accidents just by existing.

Many Stainless steel tankers have a mirror finish. There are hundreds if thousands on the road driving millions of miles each day. Seems like a few thousand Cybertrucks won’t be much of an issue. There was a technique mentioned in another thread that changes the surface of the stainless steel, so it won’t finger print. I forgot what it’s called. It’s some sort of chemical, and it’s similar to anodizing aluminum. I wonder if that would work on a mirror finish, without changing the mirror properties?

I just assumed the OP was asking about any kind of abrasive polishing (polishing doesn't neccessaily imply to a mirror polish). I saw his rendered image was of a mirror polish but I would be interested to know if anyone has polished it at all, with any abrasives beyond Barkeeper's Friend.

I haven't yet because it's been looking so good so far with minimal care, just a wash with a truck brush and bucket of soapy water. Not even any Barkeepers friend yet (although I did buy the kind in the spray bottle, without abrasives, just in case I needed it at some point).

Someone will do it for sure. Definitely not me because the OEM shine is blinding enough without a mirror finish but someone will mirror polish it one day.
