Wow! Great informative video. I think you've just unlocked the method to remove all the grime from factory sanding/prepping. So even if someone wraps the vehicle that this should be the very first step. I would like to know if fine polishing compound would do the trick to remove some of the factory caused abrasion dark areas on the hood and doors.

If you could have just washed the barkeepers friend off with water it probably would have done the same thing and then just dry it. Why would you test somewhere without access to water? The black you are seeing is the gentle results of oxalic acid eating through hard water stains, grease, and other deposits you can’t see. You’re “passivating” the stainless steel, removing the free iron from the surface and getting a black reaction.

Put a 1,000 power microscope on it and you will see the scratches. You should learn about stainless steel and its properties before you go public with advice. Never use automotive products on bare stainless steel. Ceramic wax or polymer ceramic coatings will also scratch stainless.@@OutofSpecDetailing

you opened the door the wrong way. There is a lip that you can grab from inside of the door avoiding contact with the stainless steel. Look at how Lars opens the door on the Jay Leno video at the ~30 minute mark. Proper door opening will help with the fingerprint issue.

Preproduction cars are months old. Production cars are weeks old. Maybe the difference is there? That barkeeper's friend might have silver in it. The remaining "smudges" and banding are due DA, mineral distribution and due different pressures the parts of the panels are exposed during manufacturing panel. There is also lot of oils used during manaufacturing the panels and during manufacturing the steel rolls.

Barkeeper's Friend... yeah, called it. Next level up is wiping it off with pure ammonia cut with distilled water instead of windex. I'm not sure it's 'tarnish' you are wiping off though but just a fine layer of steel. It's basically sanding the metal lightly. The more you do it the closer to a polished finish it will get.

Thanks for the series. In the end, this is a truck. It is designed to be used as a truck. It's a truck that is actually tough and perfect for a construction site. Is this one of the coolest trucks ever released, yes, it is, but it is still just a manufactured product, and it will have flaws. The truly happy will figure out how to extract joy from the things they are blessed to have instead of constantly focusing on things that, and let's be real here, are far less important than almost everything else in your life. I would guess most people will spend far more time inside their cybertruck than staring at it from outside.

Sounds like metal polish should work. The black residue is the same thing you get from metal polish. Metal polish followed by Windex. I'd recommend that. ALSO - Soft Scrub is basically the same chemical as BKF, and sometimes it is easier to find & cheaper. Thanks for the hard work you did here!

Hello, I have a large workshop and do a lot of restoration projects. I am at the top of the list for the CT and definitely liked the final video. I have a few questions: Did you also try using the Windex on the other applied coating products to see if it had the same effect on removing the orange color under the coating? Did the Windex remove all of the Bar Keeper's coating? This would put the steel back to the original with Just using Windex alone. I will be interested in the outcome of using a electric buffer with the Bar Keepers cleaner. then applying the Windex after. Good video coverage for all products shown.
