<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 4654552, member: 66&quot;]As I suspected.&nbsp; You aren&#039;t impressed because you expected too much from it.&nbsp; Too many people seem to get the idea that acetone is some miracle liquid that will &quot;remove tarnish and stains, bring back luster, restore worn details, and remove scratches.&quot;&nbsp; Well it won&#039;t.&nbsp; It will remove organic matter such as oils or grease from the surface of the coin.&nbsp; It won&#039;t remove tarnish or stains, anything that has reacted with the metal (oxides, sulfide, carbonates etc) is there to stay.&nbsp; It won&#039;t restore luster other than to the extent of possibly revealing it if it was subdued by a film of grease/oil.&nbsp; It can also sometimes remove regular dirt and salts, but so will distilled water.&nbsp; The advantage of using acetone is that while it removes the organics it will not react with the metal of the coin, and once it is rinsed (flowing rinse with fresh acetone) it dries on its own immediately. Often within seconds. No need to pat dry and risk hairlines.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
