Hi
 One should mention also that a common source of
scratches is the polishing agent being contaminated. I recommend that you
use a separate mixing bottle and an eye dropper to apply it to the mirror.
This way, you can let the stuff settle a little ( seconds ) before putting
it to the mirror.
 Many use the ketchup squeeze bottle. I don't like this
because it is too easy to tip it completely up and then you get what ever
was heaviest in the mix. Dwight
