Sunburn

[Lgibson]

Our 2015 LR4 is showing beginning to show the basecoat on the upper surface of the mirrors after 4 years of El Paso sun. Any suggestions, aside from covered parking?

Are they waxed or otherwise protected?

No
Does wax shield UV?

Does wax shield UV?

I'd suggest a ceramic coating...professionally done. After obtaining several pin stripe scratches I took mine in to have this done, they were able to remove the scratches and really restore the shine. Plus, I don't really need to wash my truck, I just hose it off or run it through a "touchless" wash. It's brilliant. However, I obtained several more of those fine scratches again from squeezing her through some unclear sections.

the side mirrors?

 

[Lgibson]

Yes, the side mirrors.
Good to know wax shields UV. I guess I’ve just missed that claim when reading labels.

or get the car wrapped, either in clear or colored ppf

LR makes mirror covers too if you are lazy and full of cash.
