Wow I appreciate the help. I was going to try this method I just saw on another site but looks daunting

Yes. Distilled just like in the videos. Maybe too much soap and not enough rinsing?

I am new to the hobby and looking for some help. I recently purchased a used Orion xt8 from approximately 2004. It was in awesome condition as it was rarely used but the primary looked dirty. I washed it using the cotton ball method on the Youtube videos. It really looked so shiny compared to when I took it out. When I look into the tube at the clean mirror it looks fine. But when I put a flashlight to it it looks like it's all spotted. Did I ruin it? Does it need a recoat?
