I was considering the clearview extenda mirrors, alas they are not being made for my model ( they did trail it but was not feasible ).

Being old, buggered and lazy, and having a ute that's exposed to the elements all the time, I wondered if there's a wash and wax product on the market that does a reasonable job of keeping the paintwork clean and presentable. I'm way past all that rubbing and polishing business. Too blood...
