The stainless steel exterior is hard to clean, but this ceramic coating process makes it easier.
Traditional ceramic coating is meant for paint, not metal. But there is a ceramic coating for metals, like the stainless steel exterior of the Cybertruck. After prepping and applying this coating, the Cybertruck beads water and should be easier to clean.
As you may know, Elon Musk designed the Cybertruck to excel in a dystopian future like Mad Max or Cyberpunk. But just because you’re gearing up for battle with mutant hordes or cyborgs, doesn’t mean you don’t care about the aesthetics and maintenance of your vehicle. It’s essential for your Cybertruck to maintain that fresh, new look as you lead humanity towards a brighter future.
One question that many buyers have been pondering is whether the Cybertruck can benefit from a ceramic coating to protect against various contaminants like fingerprint oils, water stains, bird droppings, zombie remains, and more. Given its bare metal body without any paint, what are the pros and cons of applying a ceramic coating?
The YouTube channel OQ Detailing provides a guide on correctly applying a ceramic coating to your Cybertruck to avoid undesirable outcomes. Using a traditional ceramic coating designed for paint is not suitable as it can leave a brown tint on your sleek bare metal finish for an extended period.
Instead, a specific coating formulated for raw metals like stainless steel is required. The process begins with polishing the vehicle thoroughly using a product such as Bar Keepers Friend. This might need multiple passes to ensure an even finish. After polishing, a rinseless wash should be performed to eliminate any streaks left by the polish.
Once these steps are completed, the ceramic coating can be applied. The application process is straightforward – coat the panel thoroughly, wait for 5 to 10 minutes, then level off the layer. The video provides a detailed demonstration of each step to ensure proper application by either yourself or your chosen detailing shop.
Applying this protective coating will make cleaning your Cybertruck easier and ensure quick repulsion of liquids. This way, you and your Cybertruck will be well-prepared to navigate any apocalyptic landscape in style, serving as a shining beacon of hope for humanity.
