GENERAL NOTES FOR MIRRORS:
• Glass surfaces should be cleaned with any suitable non-abrasive standard glass
cleaner, such as Windex® or Glass Plus®. Do NOT use cleaner with ammonia or
bleach. Plastic surface mirrors {D & E glazing only} can be washed with mild soap and
damp cloth with light pressure to remove splash & spatter, taking care to avoid mirror
edges. To remove grease, oil or tar deposits on the mirror surface either kerosene or
hexane may be used. Do not use kitchen cleaning sprays or window cleaners or any
scouring compounds, or any other unlisted chemical product cleaners.
• For protection each D and E glazing mirror has a durable paint backing and a
removable masking on the front. This masking should remain in place to protect the
mirrors during all phases of installation. Plastic mirrors should be handled with the
masking left on. Care should be taken to avoid sliding the mirrors against each other.
• After installation if there is trouble removing the masking, aliphatic naptha, kerosene
or distilled alcohol may be used to moisten and soften the adhesive. Do not use any
other unlisted chemical product cleaners or sharp objects to remove the masking.
• For long term maintenance of surface gloss the plastic mirror may be occasionally
polished using a clean flannel cloth and good plastic cleanser and/or polish, e.g.
Johnson’s Pledge®. Follow the polishing instructions on the container label.
• To repair vandalism fine scratches use a plastic scratch remover or compound cleaner
and apply by hand polishing. Remove all residue and polish as above step No. 3. Deep
scratches can be smoothed out by lightly sanding with 400 grit wet paper, and then
following the fine scratch step and polishing step as above.
