can you image it in any way ????????? maybe with a little puff of breath to make a bit of surface condensation so we can see it ???

The only time i ever see fog on the mirror after stripping is from something that went wrong in the aluminizing process.? something like diff pump oil vapor getting into the chamber during the aluminizing process and sticking to the glass as a kind of soot.?

If they have changed the treatment of the municipal water supply then a new chemical may be being deposited on the glass prior to coating leading to the haze. Option two (more remote) is that you have something contaminating you chamber, that can be very hard to track down though. Try using distilled water for the final rinse for a few mirrors (the cheap stuff for irons at the supermarket will work) and see if that helps?

No, I don't. Never have, except for polishing & figuring.
This phenomenon is recent.
Not quite sure what you are trying to say.

I know this going to sound silly, but you are using distilled water right? If so then that just leave the paper and possibly anything that might get transferred from your gloved hands to those towels.

Cheers, Thomas.

Every so often, I am recently finding that a haze remains on mirrors that I have cleaned and aluminized, even ones that I have stripped. I am wondering if it might be from the composition of the paper towels I use for the final drying...

Any thoughts?
