Polishing Reflectors

[DarkSephiroth]

What do you guys use to polish your reflectors? Mine has some salt blotch circle on it and i can't clean it with just water. Any other stuff that i should use?

vinegar

Hot/warm or just straight vinegar like how it is?

Straight up vinegar to wipe things off. If you're soaking stuff to clean it I'd dilute it a little bit. Works great for cleaning everything aquarium related IME.

vinegar works the best but i'm thinkin about using some "mothers" next time to see what happens

vinegar won't stain the metal or reflective surfaces do you have to dilute it with water?
