Oh dear. I asked for distilled water and the guy at the servo gave me demineralised .. I thought it was the same thing . EDIT: I'm using the exact same bottle shown in the tutorial.

I just applied some of it to the part of the mirror that needed the residue removed, didn't help .. still got residue. No permanent harm done with the demineralised water though, right? I hope it's just a case of getting some real distilled water (I assume from the supermarket?) tomorrow and cleaning up the mess?

Thanks, sorry for all the silly questions ... probably would have been best to not touch anything.

EDIT: added extra reply:

Seeing as I have already attempted to clean an isolate section, should I just continue getting the residue off or just give the whole thing a clean?

Why oh why didn't I wait for replies before cracking it open ... impatience
