It's not that bad Tony, you can still see your phone etc :D?

No really, in my opinion it would need to get much worse than that to affect the view.

cheers!

Thanks that's what I needed to hear:)

the mirror will not fit in the sink lol. Will have to get a big bowl or something when it's finally time to clean it.

That's about the same as my mirror and I've no immediate plans to clean it. Good for another year or two I reckon - it's gotta get really mucky before the views deteriorate noticeably. :)

Don't know what happened. It was just suddenly dirty. Think it was dust from doing out reach. It's nice and clean now though.
