Cybertruck owners. I’m thinking about polishing my Cybertruck to a nice shiny finish. Any feedback on this? Good or bad.
Thank you team Cyber

I've seen a few in real life. It looks stunning, but I would assume you would have to constantly clean it and it's expensive.

i was parking next to one awhile back. it seem to get dirty very ez. it's not for me but everyone is of their own, worst case scenario you can always wrap it when you grow tire of it.

There is a thread on here somewhere showing off the mirror finish. It took the OP 2-3 days and 3 people to get the mirror finish. I think that the Sun reflection would be blinding to other cars though.

Thank you. My concern is can the quality of doing this last?

Valid point about the sun. I read somewhere that the government might take action against it but wasn’t sure the validity of the claim.
Does anyone know the cost?
Thx guys

The "government doing something" is a rumor.

I've seen pricing from 8k-12k.

Last time I looked into it from MirroredCyber, it lists at $10K, but they had a deal running for $8.5K for a while.

From what I heard, the sun reflecting issue isn't a big deal generally because of the angles of the panels, none of them should directly reflect at other drivers.

One issue, however, is that because it reflects the environment around it, it can look nearly invisible - you can see this in a bunch of videos on YouTube. It may be a concern for other drivers hitting it.

I still consider doing it from time to time, it looks so damn cool :cool:

I’ve considered it. But for my personal situation, I realized that if I ever plan to (or have to) sell mine, the buying pool for a polished CT might be pretty small. It’s not like a wrap you can remove. It’s permanent. Your call.

Not so permanent. Just wipe it down with Bar Keepers Friend to put it back to a factory finish (originally I said Bartenders Friend). I actually did this. Polished a small area not to a mirror but somewhat glossy and then used Bar Keepers friend to put the area back to where it was before.

Every mirrored polished stainless steel surface in public that I've seen from bathrooms, elevators and more has had graffiti scratched into it.

The CT attracts enough attention. :D

CT in 2026?

Resale value will take a hit as you are shrinking the buyer pool. How many pre-owned CT buyers want a chrome Cybertruck?
