Use a wire wool and plenty of elbow grease!
I'm joking of course. I had a grimy mirror on my 10" Dob, and I just would
not believe that cleaning it wouldn't improve it. I took advice off this
forum, (I think it was natural soap flakes, nothing chemical, distilled
water and cotton buds ROLLED not Wiped). I spent ages trying to get the
grime off, and still a horrid film was on there.
So in the end I though 'f*ck it' I wiped the mirror with cotton buds, in
the soap/distilled water. It shone like new!
Have I ruined it? Well, it may be scratched to buggery but it's clean. I
refuse to believe a few scratches are worse than a mirror that covered with
a grimy film.
Or am I missing something? (I usually am!).
