Ceri Glass and a rayon pad using a rotary. Side mirror is a film and cannot be polished like glass.

Have you looked at the Autogeek Web site? Autogeek sells awesome products to remove water spots. There are some brands you find at auto parts stores. Check Autopia.com as well. Autogeek and Autopia are sister companies in Stuart Florida. Depending on the product you choose, you may need a dual action buffer. Mike Phillips of Autogeek is a powerful source of information. He has been in the detailing world for 20 plus years

Chemical water spot removers will not remove etched in spots. I think Mike P calls them type 2 or 3 water spots. Cerium oxide and a rayon pad will do the job, but very messy as you need to keep the surface wet.

Carpros waterspot remover, be very gentle on the side mirrors.

Duragloss Nu-glass is a nice product. Works just fine for mineral deposits. AG also sells some house-branded glass "polishes"- McKee's, Wolfgang, etc. I've only used the Duragloss.

I don't think that's an absolute, is it? I know the heated mirrors are still glass.

You could try using Mckee 37 Glass Restoring polish, it works pretty good on windows. You can just use a regular finishing pad of some kind and run it over with a buffer.

For hard water etching or stains on my truck windows, I used my GG 3 in DA. The pad I used is from the 3M headlight restoration kit. The compounds I have used are Meguiars M105 and CG. I had positive results with both. The Meguiars M105 dusts a lot. CG needs to be kept wet but the fling I had caused a mess.

Interesting.. So that explains why they're usually scratched up.
