I tested the Meguiars Iron Remover and it works really good. Not only it removed the iron spots but also the discoloration with very minimal effort. It obviously does most of the work in some chemical reaction level so it left me to wonder if I use it as my regular “car wash” routine, will it have some negative effect on the SS skin of the CT down the road.

Anyone have any knowledge about this?

I believe it’s perfectly fine to use regularly because the liquid solution is designed to interact with iron particles / deposits.

It won't hurt the stainless at all. Remember, it's formulated for cars with much more fragile clearcoats so it won't be too acidic for the Cybertruck's bare stainless steel. I would just use citric acid (or Citrisurf if you want a pre-mixed formula). All of these products should be kept away from things like rubber and plastic or diluted with water if it gets on them.

Thanks, that’s a good point and good note about the plastic.
