Cleaning shades and mirror?

[stargazer]

That was an interesting from your youth up- you've lived the name you use. You father did make a wise decision.

Will take your advice about the cotton balls. It looks like the resilvering of Index mirrors, or replacement, is common and something I wish to avoid as long as possible.

Just to clarify, the cotton I use is not the little balls, but the roll sandwiched between paper where you can tear off handfuls. I see they used that exact product in the youtube, where you see them tearing paper they are actually pulling out the cotton.
