First, maybe my english is not really perfect, I'm a french canadian...

Yes I have pic. Problem appear when sun reflect on the mirror, or when a car follow my during the night.. White spot are only on 75% of the mirror, bottom section seam OK.

Take note, mirror was perfectly washer and cleaned before picture session.

first picture show when sun is reflected on the mirror (bottom section is clear)
second picture show white spot (like smoke)

thanks for your help

I try to wash with Windex, Vim with javex, and finally, I try thinner. Nothing better! What I must use?

Next step, I will try compound.

Other idea?
