Mirror Cleaning

Hi All,

After a few years away, I'm finally getting back to the 12" dob (hence all the cloud around the ACT now!!!).
As part of that I thought I'd give the main mirror a clean (lots of dust).
I noticed while cleaning it that it seems very 'cloudy' and not 'mirror like', almost as if the coating is marked. I'm too scared to rub the mirror surface, but did notice that when water was on the surface it looked more 'mirror like'.

Any thoughts?

Thanx

VAZ
