Very nice work. I'm detailing a S6 right now. What products/process did you use to clean up the side mirrors? They look to be brushed aluminum. I haven't really looked at them to see if it has a clear coat over it.

sure you can hit them with some compound and polish but the really don't come cleaner than what you have after you wash the car.
