My answer...I guess...cleaned. Not a happy question or answer, is it? I'll have to go with patriot for my final answer...
I know this question isn't quite like the rest of the questions...but the answer might be meaningful and educational. It would be nice to get more meaningful and educational questions on this thread!!!
I believe I know what cleaning is. As far as artificial toning goes, I believe I understand that too. What is an altered surface then? Whizzing? Tooling? Both and more? Something else?

It is always a question of knowing and seeing, and not that of believing.
Our virtues, and our failings are inseparable, like force, and matter. When they separate, man is no more.
