Read a gazillion of these backs and forths over the years and it will never be settled, never have an agreeable set of rules/guidelines.

That's about where I land on this subject. There's a thousand "Well, what about....?" scenarios, but removing
surface material that is not supposed to be on a card does not qualify as 'doctoring' IMO. Sort of like washing your car.
Just one collector's opinion.
