Tips on how to wash and maintain the Cybertruck?

[juicebeast17]

Any tips on how to wash and maintain the Beast as clean as can be. I only wash my car at home, so getting the right product to avoid potentially staining my Beast-Fridge is crucial.

I hose it off. Hit it with a soft brush. Hose it off again.

So keep the stainless steel cleaner away, lol?

I mostly use the waterless wash from AutoRenu between monthly washes. Works really well for me. My truck stays outside all the time.

I appreciate the tips.

DIY waterless wash has worked well for me after 6 months. For random road mud or water spots, I have found that Sprayaway does pretty well surprisingly for those touch up occasions. A quality drying towel is key to get the waterless wash off right after use. ELBOW GREASE is also a must.

Costco car wash about once a month when it gets really dirty
Does a surprisingly good job.

To my shock, no leaks nor did it turn into a brick like everyone says it does.

Great topic - thank you.

How the heck do you get to the interior bottom part of the windshield?!? 6

Rubbing alcohol not a good cheap option? For fingerprints etc

Use Costco baby wipes for that.

Wait, what do you mean wash the truck. I just drive through rain and thought that was good enough.

I just use sprayway on the whole car. Takes me 10 minutes tops. Ha Ha

Hose it off with a sprayer attachment, dry with leaf blower to prevent water spots. That's it.

Once a month or so I'll do a complete wipe down with Sprayway ammonia free glass cleaner. Parked outside all the time and four months later still looks as good as new (if not better).

if you REALLY want to shine it up (not polish, mind you), wash it off, and then take a random orbital polisher and Bar Keeper's Friend to it. Wipe it off with windex. It will also let you remove any carbon build up spots (what people were talking about when they said 'the truck has rust on it')

I was interviewed by the WSJ about this recently LOL

Sprayway window cleaner and Costco microfibers.

I grab 8-10 microfibers and a can of Sprayway.

Fold a MF twice (fuzzy side out) and start on the hood. Spray on Sprayway and wipe off with MF.

Once one side gets dirty, I flip it over. When the second side gets dirty, I toss it and grab another MF.

I end with the roof glass and windshield. MFs go into the wash and they're ready for next time.

Takes ~20 minutes. I do this about 1/x week.

I took delivery on 05/30/2024 and I've never 'washed' my CT. Easiest vehicle to keep clean I've ever had.
