Do u guys have this problem?
I believe its becoz my door mirror is quite dirty....too lazy to wash... But the side mirror are still very blur no matter what..

i think your side mirror is corroded already . use the autosol-metal polish . polish the whole surface to make it even . then wash it with detergent later. later on apply rainX .

Use glass cleaner (those ammonia thingies) for the mirror. Experiment whether u want to use rain X or not.. *might* be better without it

well i used rainX just for my side mirror only. works perfectly . but you must apply every time you wash your car. don't use on your main windscreen. will screw up your wiper. ! "cause mine already cacat " well there is another type of sticker . saw it in eneons that day. apply on the mirror and it will reduce glare as well as smoother surface allow water drops to slips through easily hope that helps .

Yeah someone mentioned about that sticker at Eneos too.. But Eneos is far from my place. So any place selling it other than Eneos?

You hvae to periodically reapply rain x, if you are lazy to do it then i guess nothing much can be done lah, unless you can find hydrophillic mirrors that fit your car. Hydrophillic ones are found expensive cars.
