Scratch on Side View Mirror

Any suggestions on how to fix a scratch on the mirror?

Would you not just replace it?

Yeah it's like $50 for a single new cover from IND.

On the glass? Or on the cover? If the cover it's a good reason to wrap both of them.

If it's minor, try Meguiar's Scratch-X. Diminishing abrasive cream. I've had good results.

Getting a scratch off of glass is about as fruitless a quest as trying to herd cats.

I thought you meant scratch on the mirror housing. Bad assumption.
Scratch-X is for paint.
