making sure you remove the optical elements from the tube first before applying Mr Sheen.....I am not sure what MrSheen does to mirror coatings, but have heard very bad things about Fishlex. The story is told of a scope owner who complained that his mirror had black spots all over it - it turned out that he was so concerned about a few rust spots on the mirror cell that they applied fishlex. ouch.
