    Hello,
    I bought this IHC for 17 bucks and its like AU 55 or higher and I was wondering whats that stuff on it is it removable or is it just the toning?

    I would not remove the dirt. Just my opinion. I know others use different methods to remove surface debris, but on this one I would leave it alone.

    What's the problem? I can't see much from the photo. A little dirt or grime? I might use acetone or a little Coincare or Blue Ribbon. But like Mark says it might be best to just leave it alone. Doesn't appear to be anything corrosive.

    Nice buy, BTW!
    Lance.

    I'd say XF, and leave that gunk alone.
