Really? Are your windows tinted?

Even when people have their brights on it doesn't bother me at all with the mirror and tint. But I guess to everyone has different sensitivites.

You tinted your window, I didn't, so it's not really a fair comparison.

The only reason I got the mirror is because it was already on the car at the dealers lot.

True but before I tinted my windows it worked fine I also have my mirror adjusted so I have to tilt slight back to use it maybe that helps.
And yea mine was a installed already when I got the car along with other dealer garbage they overcharged me for.

If you own a sports car, you are childish. It is a good thing. Embrace it.

Ditto that. I also use a California Duster every few days to keep the car looking relatively clean in between washes (wash every other week). It works really well and takes no longer than 2 mins.

I usually only use the detailer to clean up bird droppings and/or other stains when I go out on my lunch break.

This is the Star Wars universe man. Where every random extra in the background of every shot has a 4000 word wikipedia article and an expanded universe history.

Not surprised they have wiki entries now for random probs haha.
