I'm going to do a rather strong solution along the very bottom of the mirror with a q-tip.. give it 45-60 seconds, then rinse.

Then switch to a weaker solution and a spray bottle, go a bit higher, then a very weak solution and hit the whole thing.

eta: And I think I'm going to play with the paint colors for re-covering the mirror.. maybe some silver, maybe some gray, then black.
