?Well, you can always shine a light from the backside of the mirror and see where the light passes through…any areas without a coating will be obvious. Do it in a darken room of course.

Right but how and when can you tell whether it’s coatings or something else ?

?I agree, difficult to see if they are spots, tree sap, or what on the mirror. I clean mine once a year following Dave’s instructions, using 2 gallons of distilled water. Add one drop of plain old Dawn detergent into one jug , shake and pour on mirror. Never ever rub anything on the mirror. If you need to, get some clean cotton balls and bunch them up wet and while the mirror is wet and soapy, drag the cotton across the mirror, never circular and apply no pressure. Rinse with distilled water. You can lay a cotton towel on the mirror to soak up any water but then just let it air dry.

If the spots are where the coating has flaked off, you need to recoat.

It is hard to tell from the pictures if it is water spots from dew or

mirror?once a year.? I think the same thing works for water

spots but not sure.

Do no rub on the mirror.

So, quick question.? I have the exact same look on my primary mirror.? Did you wash it a few times and always dry it with a micro-fiber cloth ?? Just wondering the best way to get it off and not scratch or damage the mirror.

Thank you.
