<p>[QUOTE="eddiespin, post: 8445499, member: 4920"]You hurt the surface. It's flatter. There's less depth in it. Acetone will do that, strip away the veneer, what we otherwise loosely call patina.

People don't perceive these differences anymore than they can perceive the differences between a $20 and a $1000 bottle of wine. The ones who can pay the $1000, they can. And there's what I'm talking about. The ones with the big money to shell out can tell. The others? They get intoxicated on either bottle, what's the difference?</p><p><br /></p><p>Do yourself a favor going forward. Don't be talked into Verdicare on these.
