I recall reading somewhere (may have been the ATMlist) back looong ago when I ground my first mirror, that a clean palm is best when cleaning a mirror?
I know when I was polishing, my fingers left prints or streaks but the plump bit of my palm(muscles for thumb) never did.
Supposedly the palm is soft like fingers, but does not have the greasy/acidic sweat that our fingers do.
This could be complete hogwash due to bad memory tho..... but I must have read it somewhere 'coz I would have done it a hundred times while polishing and it never once scratched or streaked.
