Can anyone recommend a good glass polish?

Both my side-view mirrors seem to show swirls of scratches when the light hits them in a certain way. Only cloth to touch those mirrors was a damp cloth at the car wash and a microfiber cloth that I used once after it rained.

Thanks.

It may be possible that the scratches are not on the surface but a defect in the glass of the mirrors themselves. Thought I'd try a glass polish before I take it into the dealer.

I have the same thing, thought it was something I did. Now I'm wondering it it doesn't have something to do with the heated mirrors.

Hi, Jetfuel,

Thanks much. However, I did a search on their website for Rare Earth as well as stock #263-1014 and search engine was unable to find item. Any help would be great as maybe I'm searching incorrectly.
