Rich, I wanted to do this for my jag mirror but I was put off researching the process on the web. I never found angel guiding though, because if I had I would have bought their kit. I'm keen to see how it turns out and thanks for sharing this.
John, I don't like the repop mirrors for my application and this seems to be the best way to fix a perfectly good piece of glass at a relative bargain, let's see how they come out.
That is cool, had no idea you could do that. Great tip for that one of a kind car that you want to keep all original or just want to try your hand at it. Thanks for sharing
Nicely done video Rich. Good details. Didn't know it was possible. ....I'll be watching #2 and will probably try it out on my daily driver camaro mirrors. And my son's car as well. Thumbs up.
strokedfirebirdable Thanks Dave, I am looking forward to the next step to see how they coming out, I am waiting on a couple of chemicals to finish 'em up. I will be doing this from now on to all of my old mirrors.
Awesome video Rich. I'm really luck that my fairlane rear view mirror was in good condition. I didn't even realise that you could re silver the mirrors 👍
Thanks Shane, I was not a fan of the re-pop mirror and the glass. The old mirrors are thicker and higher quality so let's see how this puppy comes out.
The one in my 1993 Ford Taurus GL is starting to get black spots in it .. its annoying i went to a junk yard the other day and i got a part off a 1992 to 1995 Ford Taurus an forgot to actually look to get the rear view mirror off the car
Wow, I was looking at the comments, without looking at the video, when I realized your voice, accent, and speech patterns, are really close to Louis CK's.
This was way too long for very little information. Too much time talking about the mirror shape etc. and not enough on the actual process. An entire video on taking off the backing? Not waiting for part 2.
You should have edited out a lot of the wasted space and just got right to the point to show the steps rather than all the nonsense have you opening the packages etc
You are asking for thumbs up... So you make a video titled "how to re-silver a mirror" ... pity you just forgot to show how to just do that. Sorry you must fall in "time waster" category

Could that be done to the visor mirrors? Don't know if I can remove them though!
Now thats cool ive wanted to see this process. So far it looks easy.
scottsinfl Thanks Scott, I am curious to see what the after looks like so fingers crossed it comes out o.k.

Thanks so much for the thorough video. I need to re-silver my daughter’s antique dresser mirror. Do you think this would work for that?
Yes, check with them for a kit for your application. angelgilding.com/ I hope you and your family are safe and well.
Is the silvering process the same if my mirror has day/night etched on the frontside of the glass? Thx.
I'ma try this for repairing old camera prisms
Cool Rich..I'm gunna have to see if we have that stuff over here.
ZIGgassedUP Someone has to re-silver mirrors down under, I would think anyway? Let's see how this comes out. Thanks Zig!
MustangConnection1 ZIGgassedUP Just wanted to let you know we ship to Australia somewhat often. Let us know if you have any questions!
I don't think it's too long It's just being thorough
Than you.
Excellent!!! Bring on part two...
Harold Taylor Thanks Harold for checking it out, Part two is coming soon
Harold Taylor and part 2 never came again
cool man I need that kit...restoring is the way to go
Thanks Larry, I know this is a bit obscure but I figured someone out there may have an interest in keeping something like this original.
I wonder if you could do a just an edge "touch up" to something larger, like a mirrored medicine cabinet, along just the edge?
Good question, I would check with Angel Guilding, they can for sure tell you.
Looking forward to part two, nice review so far.
Thank you, and thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. Curious to see how they turn out.
The one in my 1993 Ford Taurus GL is starting to get black spots in it .. its annoying i went to a junk yard the other day and i got a part off a 1992 to 1995 Ford Taurus an forgot to actually look to get the rear view mirror off the car

huck01955 Thanks Joe, Much appreciated!
Wow, I was looking at the comments, without looking at the video, when I realized your voice, accent, and speech patterns, are really close to Louis CK's.
Pretty cool
Thanks Billy!
thanks for the great tip
Hey Darrin, Thanks man, great to hear from you, hope all is well.
Can you just fix tiny edges or must you strip the entire mirror?
Pretty sure you need to strip the entire mirror
Why was that mirror tapered?
Boy you take a long time to say something. This video only needs to be 2 min long.

Siclmn Cyclerider - he might be new at making vids. Not everyone has editing skills. There is a learning curve. Great video.
OMG Just get to the poing!!!!
i would use something on more larger size instead of q tips...
Hurry up they're coming to get you... 5:30
Was a part 2 for this made?
+Lydia Williams Not yet, way behind on editing and some computer issues with this file, I will be re-shooting and posting in the coming weeks.
+MustangConnection1 when is the part 2 being uploaded??
Part two?... Ever?
This was way too long for very little information. Too much time talking about the mirror shape etc. and not enough on the actual process. An entire video on taking off the backing? Not waiting for part 2.
I am redoing the videos into 1 shorter video, stay tuned and thanks for your feedback.
Leaving no restoration stone un-turned !
Thanks Fred, I for one don't like the repops so this made sense to me.
You should have edited out a lot of the wasted space and just got right to the point to show the steps rather than all the nonsense have you opening the packages etc
th-cam.com/video/UtBtGK9hxdo/w-d-xo.html Comments like yours always seem to come from accounts without any content and funny names, why is that ?
Please make short video without your life story
You are asking for thumbs up...
So you make a video titled "how to re-silver a mirror" ... pity you just forgot to show how to just do that.
Sorry you must fall in "time waster" category
There is a link to part 2 and a full video strung together on both .
this video could have been just 1 minute. just get to the point, talk too much
Buy a new glass its cheaper!!
