<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 545119, member: 4552"]Glad you noted a brand name. If you had just said a scouring pad I would have mentioned how different some are.

Lighter Fluids as well as Ketchup, gasolene for your car, Fingernail polish remover, etc are all manufactured products. With very, very few exceptions you can find out EXACTLY what is in those. Some products lists most or all of the substances in thier products but not the percentages. That is due to a proprietary system so that others can not copy thier product exactly. </p><p>To sum up the lighter fluid situation, the one used may work and many, many others may ruin coins. To just say Lighter Fluid is just to incomplete for a true test and/or examination.</p><p>On another note on TV the other day someone was explaining now Molases works on removing verdigris and/or other substances from metals. Shown was a tool that was supposed to be covered with rust. After several days in Molases, it looked like brand new. So now it's to the grocery store for molases to clean all my coins. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
