Cleaning bowl reflectors

What do you guys use to clean/wipe your reflectors so as not to damage the finish?

This one reflector looks like it was cleaned before I purchased it, and under the light of the modeling light you can see all the traces of the previous wiping over its surface. I want to get that off.

Thanks.

distilled water would be the first place to start.

likely the marks left are deposits from whatever cleaner was used. Distilled water will leave no residue. If they cannot be reconstituted and removed, i would spray windex on to a rag and give it a shot.

spraying on a rag essentially dilutes it to the point it should leave no residue.

Alright. I'll try to grab some distilled water at Shopper's. I do have Windex, but was reluctant to use it, as it's got chemicals.

Thanks, Brisket.

i'm guessing the distilled water will do the trick.

btw, my advice is from taking care of monitors with non reflective coatings. The distilled water certainly won't hurt anything and will likely solve the problem. Windex is basically watered down ammonia and if it's okay for coated glass it's gotta be okay for coated metal.

oh, and spray the windex onto the same rag with the distilled water, is what i meant. the windex will add just a touch more cleaning power. Tightly woven fabric like a baby diaper is the best bet, soft yet strong with no fibers left behind.
