Thanks for the steel wool tip!! I now have a beautiful, thick, frosted, yellow glass paperweight. Always wanted one!

Like everyone says, NEVER look at your mirror with a bright light - you'll always be disappointed. I'm fine with how it is now. I used to clean my refractor glass with diluted (distilled water) isopropyl alcohol and white kleenex - always worked a treat. Moreover, the google consensus seems to be not to use alcohol (or even acetone) on mirrors.
