    Did I ruin my side view mirror?

    Glad to be here - lots to learn

    I have been driving sports cars quite happily for a number of years. I have been completely unaware as to what proper paint care is until a few months ago. Whilst on Ferrarichat, I saw a posting of a detailer who made an F355 look infinitely better than my F355 and that is when the jealousy...
