What to use

[Bob Hubbard]

Any one got any ideas on how to remove scratches from a side mirror?

How deep are the scratches? Can you catch them with your fingernail? Is it on the actual mirror or on the painted part?

 

[Bob Hubbard]

They are on the mirror and I can't feel them at all.
They were caused by my German Shepherd.
When she sticks her head out the window, her front paw hits the mirror.
I tried a product (3M fine cut rubbing compound) I use on the body of the car and truck to remove scratches but, it didn't work on the mirror.

try some Jewelers rouge on a cloth buffing wheel or sometimes cigarette ashes wet on a cloth will work. I used to work at PPG Auto Glass and we had good luck with both. hope that helps.

+1 on the rouge. Cigarette ashes? That is wild.

Huh. I've only used 0000 steel wool, and that was on exhaust tips.
