Yes Mark I accept that can be the case, and I have done that in the past on my older scope. However, this scope is only six months old, always shrouded, and capped top and bottom when stored in my garage. I checked for haze before I started, but this was done to remove the dust blown into it at the windy dark site.
All readers should heed Mark's advice and include a detergent step if required, and there are a number of mirror cleaning threads, articles, and videos on utube that cover the detergent use.
