Yes, I have some. And I like it. An NGC forum chemist is the source. But I've lost touch with him.
I am not sure why it is not readily available. Maybe, like Blue Ribbon, there was an environmental objection.
Whatever. It's a shame. The stuff works great on verdigris.

I had some... I was looking for it last week and have not found it. It certainly worked well on verdigris. Cheers, RickO
Sent a PM
He who knows he has enough is rich.
Thanks for the PM, I'll check into it.
In the meantime, if anyone wants to sell some, I only need and ounce or so.. thanks for the replies
Found some Blue Ribbon so I'll try that..
Blue Ribbon won't remove verdigris, if that's what you're dealing with. It is a lubricant with hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFC) which acts as a degreasing solvent.

I would like to replace my bottle, a small one, but would take a large one if available. I have been listed to be updated by Wizard when available, but doesn't seem likely.

Is it the same stuff as Verdi-Gone?

@lkeigwin
Looks like it's a replacement for Blue Ribbon. It claims it will remove verdigris on the bottle. If you know that NOT to be true, please let me know and I'll cancel the order.

I was referred to the Coin Talk website where the owner of Verdi Care claims to have a limited supply left. I signed up over there to send him a message, but I have yet to be approved for posting... Guess I'll keep searching
I appreciate all the help everyone has offered...
I have been looking for weeks. I just tried coin care and it did squat

I thought Verdicare was a board member here?
The answer is in the 3rd post above yours.
@BAJJERFAN and he hasn't been active here since 2009
I am not familiar with Classic Coin Conditioner. Maybe the stuff is great. Treating verdigris should not be a top secret.
The website suggests it's a wonderful substitute for Blue Ribbon.
I am a little suspicious of some claims, like "Coins submitted to ANACS are not considered "cleaned"." (Say what?) And "Will not be detected by ANACS sniffers." (I've never heard of ANAC sniffers.) "Leaves coin in its natural state." (What does that even mean?)
Houck's Panacea was a popular elixir. I don't think it would have helped my arthritis but I could be persuaded.

True. But VERDICHEMIST was his handle.
I have some left in the sample size bottle. Trying to use it sparingly.
I take issue with the statement "Leaves a slight trace of lubricant to protect your coin for the future!". This will have to be removed with something IMO, otherwise the coin is no better than lacquered since that "lubricant" will probably hide hairlines.
and also the directions which say to "gently rub"- please don't
