Frank,
Just a few thoughts.
First and foremost, if anyone wants to learn about cleaning and
restoration of markers should attend a workshop with "Walt" Walters. I'm
sure anyone who has attended has walked away with the deepest respect
for this man, his mission and knowledge.
Second there was a comment about testing a cleaner on an inconspicuous
location. Any and all chemicals contain solvents which may penetrate the
pores of the stone. Those solvents carry chemicals into the stone which
may reside and continue to react. I think the best policy is to use only
water or nothing at all. Just "elbow grease," only on your own elbow of
course.
