Well, with knees knocking and after taking 2 blood pressure bills I started my first primary mirror cleaning. After about 1hr. I had removed the the mirror cell from the tube, removed the clips holding the mirror into the cell, filled the kitchen sink with warm distiled water and a bit of dish soap, let the mirror soak for about 1/2 hr. I Removed the mirror from the sink and rinsed it with distiled water. I then went over the mirror with wet cotton balls very very gently, and then rinsed and went over it again and rinsed again then used q-tips the dry any spot's. The only thing I don't understand is that after using a scrub pad to remove the stuck on dirt how do I get the mirror to shine again :S Thanks Floyd for all your help, it came out great.

Hey Bob..Thanks for the great advice..I was wondering how to get my mirror REALLY clean. I'm going to try your method right away (I assume I can use regular scrub pads..right?) LOL
