Lens tissue wrapped around a narrow flat object, dipped in denatured alcohol
works for me.  Don't press too hard on the mirror as the silver can come right
off if you trap a piece of grit in there.  If there is old mirror foam in the
corners, that'll smear around alot and you'll have to clean it 10 to 20 times
to get it all off.
