Just picked up my car from being services and re-coding.
And I have now noticed that the tints on my wing mirrors has changed - the very top had is yellow and very botton is blue (different to the normal blue tints - thats on the rest of the surface) - this is on both mirrors - has anyone had a similar problem. Any idea what this may be ?

thanks

I noticed this also every time I pick up my car from the dealer after they had washed it, mirrors return to normal very quickly , must be something they wash them with, or a spray that they apply.

I think it has to do with the pressure applied to the mirror when they run the car through the slapper. My mirrors never change color when I hand clean them, but they always do when I get it back from the dealer.
