Hi all, hope you're all well.

Have a little bit of overspray on the s4 mirrors, and was wondering what, if any, is the best way to get it off. I've asked my friend who has said it may be very difficult, and to just leave it. But after a bit of research the mirror is lacquered, and I should be able to rub down and laquer again?

From what I understand it was in the middle of the b6 production that they went from the alu mirror caps to painted plastic ones, would this make it harder for me to do?

If it is not possible, then that's cool, I'll leave it, but wanted some opinions.

Pics below. Can get better images if need be.

Thanks, Matt.

Try a clay bar, not sure if there is too much spray there, I've seen somewhere before they work for light dusting overspray.
