Windex and Bar Keepers’ friend? Let’s talk Cybertruck.
As New England’s undisputed Cybertruck experts, we’ve had the privilege of working with nearly 40 clients on their electrifying trucks. We’ve covered it on our Instagram and in previous blog posts, but we want to dive into a hot topic in recent news: how to keep that futuristic, sharp-edged exterior looking pristine. This conversation continues to take off, especially after The Wall Street Journal recently highlighted the challenges Tesla owners face in maintaining the truck’s unique finish.
There’s noise suggesting Bar Keeper’s Friend and Windex, but these kitchen cleaners will run out quickly. If you own a modern truck, you likely seek a more effective solution than just glass cleaner and baking soda.
The good news? We’ve got a solution to this problem, effectively eliminating serious grime, weathering, and environmental damage.
Stains, Smudges, and Scratches
The challenge every Cybertruck owner has faced: a defining feature with a fatal flaw.
The stainless steel finish quickly collects fingerprints, water stains, and bug marks, more so than painted surfaces. Although durable, it remains susceptible to scratches and wear, particularly in New England's unpredictable weather.
With a lack of a clear coat of paint that traditional cars have, there’s no extra barrier against scratches or UV damage. So, how do you ensure that your Cybertruck stays looking incredible?
The Best in Customization & Protection
With a few dozen Cybertrucks under our belt, ultimate peace of mind is achieved through a two step process: a wrap and a coating. With two options for wrapping and a state of the industry Ceramic Pro Coating, we’ll have your Cybertruck looking incredible.
Let’s get into it:
1. Paint Protection Film & Colored Paint Protection Film
PPF is one of the most effective ways to shield ANY car from everyday damage. Typical PPF is clear, however the most popular and highly recommended option is Colored PPF from our friends at Pure PPF. We recently added their visualizer to the Cybertruck page of our website, and with more than 70 different colors among three distinct finishes we’ve been absolutely blown away with each of the trucks we’ve seen so far. Add in a level of customization with Cyberbeast logos, Foundation emblems and Cybertruck script across the trunk, and your truck looks better than all the others out there.
Four times the thickness of traditional vinyl, Colored PPF simultaneously customizes the color of the truck while adding a self-healing protective layer that uniquely shields against the elements. Whether you’re driving off road or just taking the Cybertruck on suburban roads, this is the gold standard of care.
2. Vinyl Wraps
While our team recommends Colored Paint Protection Film, there is a level of customization that only goes so far. If you’re looking to transform your truck into something crazy different or customized for your business, Vinyl Wraps offer a fantastic solution. We’ve wrapped several Cybertrucks in custom colors with additions of logos, QR codes, and custom designs that have looked incredible. While it doesn’t offer the same level of protection as PPF, it offers a level of protection and preservation that’s far better than the stainless steel finish itself.
Plus, vinyl wraps provide an easy-to-remove option if you want to switch things up down the road or return to the original finish.
3. Ceramic Coatings
Ceramic Coatings are the icing on the cake, adding another level of durability and protection to your Cybertruck’s exterior. This layer bonds with the wrap’s surface, creating a hydrophobic layer that repels water, dirt, and grime. Maintenance becomes substantially easier and any debris comes right off with a simple wash.
Our tip? Always add a ceramic coating and the sleek, glass-like finish will last the lifetime of your truck
Conclusion: Invest in Protection
Sure, Windex and Bar Keeper’s Friend might work for a quick touch-up, but if you’re serious about preserving the look and feel of your Cybertruck, investing in professional protection is the way to go.
When you choose to wrap and ceramic coat your car, you can rest easy knowing that your Cybertruck will stay protected against the elements and daily wear and tear for years to come.
Your Cybertruck deserves more than just basic care—it deserves the best. We don’t call ourselves Tesla Experts for nothing, it comes from more than a decade of learning, detailing, and discovering the best products and methods to ensure our clients with the ultimate peace of mind for such a large investment.
Let’s keep your stainless steel beast looking as good as new for years to come.
