How do you remove the greasy film from new mirrors?

I bought some new mirrors and two of them have this same film on them, does anyone else have this problem? It is not something you can pull off, apparently it was sprayed or wiped on at the factory.

Try using white vinegar in a spray bottle and wipe off with paper towel
