Sideview mirrors refinishing
I noticed today that the sideview mirrors have chicken scratches on the mirror part. Are these mirrors, glass or something else like a plastic ?
Can glass cleaner be used to clean these mirrors ?
Is there a way to refinish them (buff them etc) to get the scratches out ?

Oh boy, that doesn't sound good.. is it possible to replace just the mirrors and not housing etc.? and does replacing just the mirrors destroy the originality of the vehicle ? I want to keep it as OEM as possible the only thing I have changed is the stereo head unit for an aftermarket one. Other than that I do not want to to do anything that would destroy the value of it in the future because it was modified.

Mirrors are glass. I would check with an auto glass company and see what they think about refinishing the glass. Most likely it would be better to replace the glass if you can find the parts.

Now I just need to figure out how to fix the several small cut marks in the drivers side front pillar.

I think I am just going to replace them.
