  Scott, , Don't worry about the mix, if you feel it is too diluted just add
more mix, it will all work out.
Yes,.. do add a drop of unlemony, uneverything type dishwashing soap to the
face of the mirror. This
acts as an oil on the side of a piston cylinder. It will bubble up on the
face of the mirror but it helps make the strokes smooth and consistant. At
this point any jerky motion or stops are not good.
