Maz whats the best to remove soot?
Spray a pre-wash solution like Valet Pro Orange Pre wash OR if you have an All Purpose Cleaner like Megs it will do a similar job (dilute 10:1).

Really shouldnt let the car get that dirty - cant be a days worth there, looks more...What do you seal the car with?

I replaced my caps a few years back and managed to break both mirror glasses. You really need to get something wide and flat behind them at the centre of the glass but its bloody difficult as the glass is so thin it will likely flex and crack. They aren't cheap to replace either and they charge more for the drivers side that the passenger - because more get broken so they scalp ya!!
