So what's happening behind the panels where you can't wash it daily?
It's called stainless not stainfree.

I think that making a truck out of stainless steel, and buying a truck made out of stainless steel, are both idiotic decisions.

Delorian learned about the drawbacks of stainless cars back in the 80s. The rusting of bare stainless not withstanding, the stainless also causes the regular mild steel in other parts of the vehicle to act as a galvanic anode. This means that the hidden mild steel of the frame rusts twice as fast as the stainless body due to having a higher voltage potential. The death of many a Delorian came from its mild steel wishbone frame rusting away underneath the body.
