If people didn't know, Clay bars are used to clean paint and lift contaminantes, not polish.

I didn't until about 4-5 hours of YouTube videos and I little practice lol. I feel like I have a decent understanding of it now lol. A DA(dual action I think) spins but also oscillates so you don't damage or burn through paint so its recommended if your just starting out and a rotary just spins so to my understanding you can work a little more efficiently but you need to use some common sense to not damage paint.

They make them, you have to search eBay for expedition towing mirrors. Then find the one with the same connector as we do. You should be able to see it in the pictures

and also since some people are on the topic of cleaning. if you have aluminum wheels, this eagle one product works quite well and all i did was spray it on once i got to the car wash and then sprayed it off. made my wheels like so much better than before. obviously they dont look perfectly polished but for basically no work it helped a lot

Thats not bad at all for just using a spray on a polished wheel. Looks nice.
