Also interested to see how it looks now. If it’s still holding up I’ll order a bottle right now lol

Just read your question and took a photo of 007 in the grocery store parking lot. Has not been washed in a week. His finish is very shiny, like polished sterling silver. After getting him to this level of brightness I've still got product left in the bottle. About 5 coats with extra applications on the doors to brighten them up to match fenders and quarter panels. No degradation over time and hard rains actually clean the truck. I'm very pleased with my efforts ?

Friends immediately recognize 007 because he is much shinier than a couple other CyberTrucks in town. Like a Silver StarShip ? going down the highway.

"TIP" Polish and remove with panel grain as much as you can to avoid swirl marks in bright sunlight. Also, your "Foundation Series" badges will become much lighter but, will jump out when viewed at an angle or changing light.

Great work!
How has the finish held up over time? Did it develop a golden patina like the stock finish develops over time? Do you do touch ups or mini polishes like you would with BKF?

I’ve been wanting a shinier surface finish and this looks exactly like what I’m going for…not full mirror but more reflective. I’ve been experimenting with different sanding pads and have done well to match the finish of the stock metal but I want to take it a bit shinier. I’d probably be trying to use the polish with a random orbital sander/polisher…unfortunately I don’t have too much time to work on projects like this.
Read my response to the other member. I am extremely pleased with how 007 turned out and has remained. Very expensive look while maintaining the stainless steel toughness. I like wraps but they defeat the purpose of the stainless steel exoskeleton concept.

Answering your questions.

1. Does not turn gold or develop a patina. So far, it remains the same over time. I have "touched up" doors too try and make them match the front fender and quarter panels which are more "mirrored" after initial polish. Very easy to apply and remove after about 4 applications. The stainless steel panels become very slick and mirrored. It is a bitch to polish and remove in the beginning. But, becomes easier with each application.

2. I do not recommend a orbital sander for this. I've got light swirl marks in direct sunlight from my hand applications and removal. Applying and removing with the grain of the steel will avoid this i would think?. I will say if you use a powered orbital pad you will probably get very close to a "mirror" finish after 4 applications. White Diamond really works ? on the CyberTruck's stainless steel.

3. Maintaining the look hasn't been an issue. I have reapplied and removed not because I noticed any degradation. I've done it because I want to make 007 shinier though, once it looks like a mirror I'm not getting much noticeable change. Very easy to apply and remove now.
