I'm not sure everyone agrees with that
Start with either tap water (use a final distilled water rinse) or distilled water, with or without soap. If you do use soap, make sure to rinse,...
The circular swirl marks makes it look like it was done with a sander of some kind. Not a mint error, welcome to CT
