Default best glass cleaners for wingmirrors?

someone's been a bit too generous with the back to black on the wingmirrors n its made the glass really misty...

what y'all use for cleaning wingmirrors with? i'd LIKE to get them minty minty mint, with no watermarks, stains etc. etc.

also does anyone bother taking the glass out of the wingmirror to clean em, so u cn get the edges perfect etc. ?

There all more or less the same, the other way of doing it where you get a good result is by using vineager and newspaper ..I shit you not, but you'll have every cat and dog in the neighbourhood trying to lick your mirrors

We use alcohol based glass cleaner at work, but trust me - MR MUSCLE glass cleaner is the best stuff on the market - beats Autoglym hands down everytime
