Hi all,
I've been trough the archives reading all posts regarding how to clean the
OM-1 & 2 mirror.
Specially useful are the following answers:

So far so good, but I have trouble finding out what is meant by 'denatured
alcohol'.
Is it alcohol (ethanol) without any percentage of water? - This is known
here by the name of 'alcohol anhidro' or absolute alcohol.
Methanol seems to have a small pecentage of water.
Acetone seems not, but since I found only one reference to it during my
archive search I preferred not to buy it.
I was also informed that isopropil-alcohol doesnt have any percentage of
water, but found no reference in the archives.
If denatured alcohol is the same as absolute alcohol, is absolute alcohol
safe for cleaning the mirror ?. I might leave those mirror bumper marks (no
blobs) there and live with them, but I'd prefer not.
Waiting for your chemical advice,
Fernando.
