    Has anyone polished the stock lightly textured stock outside mirrors on their truck? Results? I have scratches from the dealer improperly cleaning it on delivery. I know it will shine up some but not sure how much or if a good result is even possible? Thanks

    I've heard its good for removing painted scratches. I wonder what the outcome of polishing the scratches out of the lightly textured black plastic will look like. I know it will get shiny but to what extent abd how even? Was hoping someone else had tried it?

    I've learned first-hand that you can polish a great shine into plastic with a random orbital polisher.
