Soak it in acetone to prevent any further toning of the print and be done with it. If it's not very valuable and you don't mind reducing the value, then you may want to experiment with these other methods. The other option is to send it to NCS. I know that they are not going to share their secrets about how they remove fingerprints, but they could get it off for you. Also, NONE of the TPGs' graders use gloves. I was surprised to find that out but it is definitely true. Report this Post to the Staff

That was a nice compliment and I think we all missed it! Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff
