[QUOTE="Jaelus, post: 2336587, member: 46237"]As with any product that removes contaminants, the contaminants are transferred from the surface of the coin to the liquid. If the liquid evaporates, the contaminants are left behind on the coin right where they started. Acetone is not effective for removing and arresting verdigris, while this is. I've never used a micro fiber towel on a coin like those instructions suggest. There are certainly easier ways of spreading the product over the surface without touching anything other than the liquid. Verdicare really does wonders for saving mint state non-proof copper coins with small spots of verdigris or that have that "fuzzy" look to them.
