Are you sure it’s mildew? Many succulents have a powder coating that’s like their sunscreen. This looks like a really healthy plant from the photo. I’d keep doing what you’re doing and be careful not to touch the leaves and wipe the powder off.

I think you’re right, Harris — I think it may have been the protective farina and not mildew.

Maybe even just water/fertilizer spots from the nursery or wherever you got it if it was recently

Same, I have had a few bouts with PM and this just looks normal and happy
