<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 7779379, member: 112&quot;]Kinda sorta, but not because it&#039;s a film or foreign substance of some kind. For lack of a better way of saying it, what you actually doing is mashing down the very top ridges of the luster flowlines thus rendering the early toning invisible.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ya see, when viewed at high magnification luster looks kinda like this - /\/\/\/\/\/\&nbsp;&nbsp; And the very top of those ridges, well it&#039;s like a single molecule of metal, and it&#039;s very fragile sitting up there all by itself. And it is that single molecule that has toned, corroded in other words, purely because it&#039;s more exposed to the air than any other metal on the coin. And when you wipe it like you described, what you&#039;re doing is mashing the very tops of those ridges down into the valleys between the ridges. And rendering them invisible because they can no longer reflect and refract light that strikes them. So you&#039;re not wiping it off, you&#039;re just mashing it down.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
