Citrisurf 77 for surface rust?

[ohtruck]

While I wait for my truck to arrive, I noticed Tesla has a manual on for removing surface contaminates now: https://service.tesla.com/docs/Publ...UID-E37F1326-EB87-4D02-9007-7034DB54C604.html

It recommends using Citrisurf 77 or equivalent. Has anyone with a Cybertruck been able to test this out yet?

Strange! Does the parent link work? https://service.tesla.com/docs/Public/diy/cybertruck/en_us/

Otherwise, here's a screenshot of the page I'm referencing:

You can go to service.tesla.com login, select Cybertruck, and it is in the DIY - Cleaning section.

They actually say any mild citric-acid cleaner and then clean and wipe down with alcohol wipes after that. CitriSurf 77 was just an example. This is a stainles steel rust remover. Basically, back to an acidic cleaner to remove the surface contaminants (same as BKF).

Basically, any acidic cleaner would work, but you must remove it when it does its job.

Interesting…I just looked at Amazon and they have a 22oz bottle for around 34 dollars. Would also like feed back on the merits of its use.

I guess I'm really just curious to know what's different about Citrisurf 77 from BKF and if anyone's compared them. Citrisurf seems to be meant to be left on for a while and then wiped off based on their website, where BKF is more of an active application. For what it's worth, I've purchased bottles of both but don't have a truck to try them out and compare yet.

I think I fixed the original link now. Sorry, posting from mobile.
