I'm not sure what exactly you mean. I always said I'd leave the wipes, because they don't really change anything and recreating them faithfully would require an original source, which at this point would mean the GOUT and from what I can tell, there isn't really any significant drop in quality during wipes on the IB print, except maybe a little more dirt, which would get cleaned up in a digital restoration anyway.
You answered my question. :-) Thanks!
