Taking Cybertruck through Automatic Car Wash (Finally)

[wtibbit]

Agreed and hope for some 'treatment' after the BKF to make it last many months. Sometimes you trade one problem for another

I've used BKF to clean industrial stainless steel counters and my personal stainless steel cookware for decades. It can restore to its original finish the inner surface of a pot that had food completely burned on to a hard mass. BFK's fine abrasives in remove surface contaminants and any light rust as well as very fine scratches. The oxalic acid in BKF restores the passivation layer - just a few molecules thick - of chromium oxide on the surface, preventing oxidation of the iron content of the steel. Those pots of mine have a beautiful, even patina and looks just a good as new except for a few scratches made by guests unknowingly using hard/sharp stainless utensils to dig or scrape at them.

I suspect BFK will scrub off any surface treatment/coating/whatever that might be applied to the truck, but that's OK with me, as I don't expect to use any other treatment.

The surface of my truck will receive far less daily abuse than the exterior and interior surfaces of my cookware, so I think BFK will work for the truck, too. Besides, I had a case of BKF in my pantry before I ordered the truck....

Anyone try one of these for finger prints?

Good to see it go through a regular carwash. We've always taken our Teslas (a MS, MS and MY) through the automatic carwash. Really great that the Cybertruck has a Carwash Mode! That's a big step forward. Wish they had that on other Teslas years ago.

Finally someone got their truck super dirty and then took it through a car wash. The reviewer said they got the Ceramic Duck, but you can see when they went thru the car wash the Lucky Duck was what he got. I think the Ceramic coating would not have worked well. The reviewer responded to my comment on YouTube and believes they got the ceramic coating…either way, it came out great after drying it off.

Needless to say, I was happy to see that the stainless steel didn’t come out the other end a pure mess after watching the OCDetailing videos.

I guess I will keep my Quick Quack membership.

I took mine through the automated car wash "touch full" twice, and it worked fine!

I have been taking my Cybertruck through Quick Quack. I do the lowest level that does not use any wax or sealants. The truck comes out super clean. I have done it now about 8 times. One thing I have noticed that nobody is really talking about, I don't get as much finger prints. It is almost like there was some sort of film on the truck when first delivered and people were fighting with it and getting an uneven look to the car & panels.

I feel like everything is stripped now and everything is even.
