^_^ rainX is like amazing.We got a bottle of it for free when we were getting gas for our boat like 2 summers ago and we put it on the windows of the boat and it worked wonders.Went back and bought some and put it on all the cars/trucks and have recommended it ever sense.

A slice of lemon rubbed on the mirror will remove the mineral deposits that make the spot.

Do you wash your truck at the car-wash? If so, do you use the "spot free" on the mirrors? It's the last thing I spot free, seems to be kinda hard to remember to sorta turn away from the truck and spray them since you usually are facing the truck while you are washing it

.

Never heard of lemon on mirrors, that is pretty neat. Does it take off those orangish/brownish finger mark looking stains on the mirrors?

And you could prolly test the steel wool in your bathroom.
