Damn, kinda like paint, like, does something useful besides add color
At the same time, DeLorean figured this out 40 years ago.
DeLorean also had FSD working - just point it at a white line, and it could go for miles.

Wait until it hears about snow and salt
So, almost everything that it might come into contact with corrodes it. A1.
A1 is stainless steel 303, the cybertruck is made from some kind of 301. I think A1 would be even worse but I both are apparently not well suited for the task.
I know. Sorry.
"I know Deloreans, which have stainless steel panels, are prone to rust, how could I possibly have known that Cybertrucks, which have stainless steel panels, would also be prone to rust?"

Makes me smile.
I'm surprised that there are cybertruck owners.
A product made at the image of its owner. Sharp as ice.
Honestly it's probably not damaging it, just discolors it.
But also, this would probably work great to remove it and prevent it. It smells awful though.

That's not rust, just an orange\brown patina, no worries.
Could always wax…
