Ric--I wasn't trying to be a smart a__--on the Obsession dob, the base is
open--you literally tip it to 90 degrees and start cleaning--you leave the

the point is cleaning an Obession dob mirror is very simple. By the way,
what is d.i. water--I may get up the courage to remove the LX mirror
someday. Thanks, Andy
