<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2252344, member: 112&quot;]Acetone doesn&#039;t work on oils very well, use xylene to remove oils and oil based products.</p><p><br /></p><p>But to my knowledge, vaseline won&#039;t do anything to help anyway. The only reason that olive oil works is because it is acidic. And a very mild acid at that, which is why it takes so long. </p><p><br /></p><p>As for Verdi-Care, it will help, but even Thad (the inventor and maker) will tell you that it won&#039;t do much for coins with extensive verdigris. Repeated treatments may get it off, but as already mentioned all that will do is reveal the damage already done. Which is just as bad as leaving it as is.</p><p><br /></p><p>So there are 2 choices, use Verdi-Care and remove the verdigris (or most of it), or leave the coin alone. With either choice proper storage afterwards is the key. This is because with proper storage the vedigris that is on the coin will not continue to damage the coin because verdigris requires moisture for its action to continue. And even if removed proper storage is required to prevent verdigris from coming back.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
