Polish till the wife's whip makes the blood fall on the mirror
and tool!
Actually, polishing is a job that takes a while and the only
thing you need to do is occasionally add water and CeO to the
surface.  With a mirror that size, you'll be running out of
energy first before the polish gets anywhere near done.
Just don't leave the tool and the mirror in contact for  any long
period of time or you'll learn some new cuss words as you try to
get them apart after the pitch makes a good dry contact with the
glass.  The best thing is to put the tool pitch side up and put a
plastic box or something like that over it so dust doesn't fall
on it while you rest up and answer the wife's whip.
