Anyone use Cybertruck Wax?

I tried it before I got it wrapped. Meh, it didn’t stop fingerprints. Didn’t prevent hard water spots. Waste of money imo

Still kicking around the idea of trying it, maybe just on one panel.
No significant difference in fingerprints? REALLY looking for something to put on to keep fingerprints down on the raw stainless

Buy mine.

I think the Barkeepers Friend is a very fine grit and will leave fine swirls on the SS.

Barkeeper's Friend is not a single product, it's a line of products with slightly different names and formulas. The Foamy BKF in a spray bottle doesn't have any abrasives, AFAIK, it's mostly just a foamy acid. The stuff in a squeeze bottle has a similar formula, but with fine polishing abrasives added. It will polish fine scratches into the surface, finer than the factory finish. It will eventually remove the factory finish and make it smoother/shinier. I would avoid that unless you have a plan of what kind of look you are going for. In all varieties of BKF use, I recommend rinsing well, preferably with warm sudsy water made with a free-rinsing soap and a good fresh water rinse. Then let it get wet and dry to passivate it over a period of time. Most passivation happens in a couple of days, but, just like concrete that continues to get stronger with time, so does the passivation layer, contact with clean water and fresh air is the best for passivation.

Mines been plastered with cold, wet maple leaves, in the drizzling cold rain, for multiple days in a row, the stainless steel seems to like them. Probably because they are slightly acidic. I'm sure some leaves could leave minor staining and inconsistent finish that would require BKF or a citric acid product to bring it back to like new, but my experience has been the finish remains remarkable even, including when covered in wet leaves over several rainy days.

I don't spend much time messing with my trucks finish these days, it's in a happy semi-dirty state that looks fine. I might hose some mud/dirt off occasionally and wash it with soap and water after a couple of months. But I think I'm leaning more towards citric acid than the BKF variety of acid to periodically freshen it up. It seems less powerful but perhaps more beneficial over time.
