Okay I'm cleaning this bad boy today. I have removed all the screws from the back of the Dob and have lifted out the entire back end holding the primary. I have then loosened all the clips and removed the housing of the mirror and the mirror is now sitting on a shelf in my cupboard waiting for the next step.
My strategy for cleaning includes acquiring a plastic bucket large enough to house the primary. I plan on rinsing it under tepid tap water to loosen up grit followed by immersing the mirror in tepid tap water in the bucket, adding some organic dish washing liquid and gently working my way around the mirror with the pads of the middle finger area. I will then withdraw the primary from the bucket and rinse with tepid tap water and finish up by pouring a bottle of distilled water over it to throughly remove all soap residue and to ensure I get a streak and spot free clean. It will then be left upright to dry before being fitted back into the back end of the dob.
Any thoughts? Anyone got a better strategy for this? Many thanks.
