Noticed this morning that after using Zero Odor Pro to try to attack a smoke smell in the car I got some overspray on the rear view mirror. Do I need to use something else than Windex?

hopefully there's no haze. i generally use sprayway to clean larger areas of glass. clean w water/soap first if that's not enough, try the windex. imho.

@javon7065 Here is the process:

Use Mr Clean https://www.mrclean.com/en-us/shop-products/magic-erasers/magic-eraser-extra-durable

Magic eraser in clear distilled vinegar, lightly scrub the mirror - wait till try, use a clean microfiber cloth gently rub the marks off the mirror left by the vinegar. DONT DROWN THE MIRROR - it has electronics in it.

Use a 50/50 Rubbing alcohol and distilled WATER mix with a new Mr Clean sponge. Wipe dry with microfiber.

Done.
Thank you for this advice. Because it has electronics in it I was concerned. Other than that I would've just used Windex.
