<p>[QUOTE="Oldhoopster, post: 5127210, member: 84179"]Don't forget, acetone won't touch on toning. It only removes dirt, grime, organic residue, and assorted schmutz. Once the metal surface reacts to forms sulfides, oxides, etc, acetone is worthless. Dips will remove the toning which removes some of the original metal (that's why luster is lost), acetone doesn't. </p><p><br /></p><p>It would probably be better to do the acetone soak first, to remove the organics and expose the toning underneath, then do the ammonia soak (although personally, I don't like using ammonia/water, but just my opinion).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
