Polishing side view mirrors

[explorer]

Is this possible or out of the question?



Over the last year these have become more noticeble to a point that they are looking bad on a other wise excellent looking car.



Has any one ever polished mirrors, what products and techniques did you use?



I think these were caused by the ice scraper during the Winter .



Do you have the same problem with ice build up?

On my Dakota and PT cruiser they are plastic and not glass.



I use Mothers plastic polish on them every time I detail , keeps them new looking.

explorer, are you talking about the housing (which is probably painted plastic) or about the mirrors themselves?

 

[C. Charles Hahn]

if its the housing you're talking about, and they're anything like the ones on my truck, (supposed to be a gloss black plastic?) I just use Meguiar's Deep Crystal System Cleaner (Step 1) to get them clean.

Sorry dude, I have heated mirrors.



If they're that banged up, it wouldn't be too off the wall to replace them.



Otherwise you can take them out and work on them easier when off.
