[QUOTE="finestcomics, post: 323384, member: 4368"] I appreciate you raising this point Iain. In my opinion, any dry cleaning (kleenex/tissue/dry wipe) to dust off, or compressed air does not require disclosure. Using a damp cloth on paper should be avoided for reasons I won't get into, though soap and water are the best way to clean loose figures. When we get into Naphtha/lighter fluid/Goo Gone, or any petrol-based solvent, whether it's to remove a price sticker, residue from a sticker, or colour touch/ink touch ups, it needs to be disclosed. Similarly, and a rule of thumb, if you have doubts about whether a wipe intended to remove nail polish or wipe a baby's bum, if you can't pronounce one or more of the chemical ingredients on the list, it's probably safe to say you should disclose them too. There is the altered composition of the paper, trapping foreign VOC's during storage, to say nothing of the deceptive aspect of people "recommending" using lighter fluid to remove ink touch-ups as a remedy to get MOC's to pass through AFA.
