I usually immerse the whole glass in a sink with tap water (warmish) and some of the Kodak photo flow solution. When the mirror is underwater if you lightly touch the surface with your index you can feel any hot spot. Just rub gently until lose. It's super quick to find where the grime is. Then I rinse it in cold water under the tap. The stream of water will run straight off the mirror and grab any isolated drops. Any drop that stays will usually stick to something that shouldn't be on the mirror but with a bit of practice you can 'stick' them to the stream. You can actually rinse your whole mirror dry without even touching it because the water will run off it. What ever drops are left just blow them out of the way and that's it. I know there is an argument about distilled water but in my experience running clean water doesn't leave any marks. In my area anyway. Could be a problem if you have hard water.
