Default Ashy grey mirror restoration


Was messing around with this turtle wax stuff on my truck this weekend and decided to try it out in my ashy mirrors. Well to my surprise my mirrors look better than new in my opinion. I just simply used the cleaner that's included wiped on and wiped off then I used the supplied black carnuba wax that was supplied same thing rubbed in rubbed off and man my mirrors look good. Sorry i didn't have a before pic I wasn't planning on them coming out how they did. But check it out. I don't know how long the mirror will last looking how they do but u will keep you guys posted

Mirrors look good and shines not greasy at all even though they look at it

Do you think the mirrors and bed rail caps are made of the same material. Think this stuff would work on the ashy bed rail caps?

I think it is the same material mines are painted. The front cowl however I tried a little bit I'm it and had the same results. Gotta use the cleaner first though then the carny a wax for the same results.
