BKF is Oxalic Acid, what you want to use is Citric Acid such as Citrisurf 77. Use Citric Acid after you remove rust spots, this will passivate the steel.
19 years in the restaurant business. If you have ever seen those gleaming SS exhaust hoods over the cookers? Try this..... Olde English Lemon Oil. Soft cloth, wipe on with the grain. Super fast and easy to apply. It will leave a very thin coat of oil. Not only does water bead right off, the thin oil film prevents fingerprints! It is the oil in our skin that leaves the prints. You can do this on your SS appliances at home as well..... if you don't like it, no worries, next wash with soap cleans it all off

Orange spots are just littlle specks of iron that adhere to the stainless steel and then stain the surface as it oxidizes. It can come from other cars disc brakes, drum brakes, railways, industrial fallout, etc. My white painted cars get the same thing but it's a lot easier to take of on the Cybertruck because you don't have to worry about damaging the fragile clear coat that all painted cars come with.
This is correct. The steel is not rusting. It’s iron particles that are stuck to the steel. You can use a de-iron solution to spray on the steel to remove it.

Have you ever tried adding some Lemmi Shine Detergent Boster to the water when washing the truck? It’s principle ingredient is Citric Acid and it helps fight water spots. It’s carried in many supermarkets. I add it to my dishwasher, keeps the inside sparkling clean and improves dish cleaning. Also does a great job keeping rifle cartridge brass looking like new when reloading.
Ill look into it, thank you for info.

I have had my FS Beast for 1 year now and started to just notice some rust spots. I know this has been talked about before when the CyberTruck first came out.

I would like to know how you all are handling these spots or if you even have them.
