Getting Scratches out of Graded Card Slabs
 

I just wanted to share with everyone a great way to remove scratches (even deep ones) out of graded card slabs.

I got tired of sending slabs to PSA and SGC for reholder for scratches. It was costly and time consuming.

From my car restoration days, I decided I would try a product that we used to clean headlights, lenses and clear plastic. Well it worked.

Just use some PlastX and a microfiber cloth. The deeper scratches take a little elbow grease and patience but this absolutely works for a fraction of the cost.

Amazon sells it.

Kinda related, Deepwoods Off works insanely well on cleaning headlights. So good I no longer put it on my skin.

And Coca-Cola is so acidic that it will strip tarnish off of metal. LOL

Novus 2 is a great scratch remover for slabs, too.

Pretty much a similar/same thing as far as effectiveness.

Plastx is slightly better IMO. Novus 2 tends to clog in the spout and turn hard.

Good point. My first bottle of Novus 2 lasted about 2/3rd of a bottle before it dried out to the point it was suspiciously "too thick" after sitting around about a year. It seems it sometimes may not close well or over time the applicator/lid doesn't keep things airtight enough.

The last bottle I got 4 years ago I now keep in a plastic Ziplock bag and it's still operating like it was freshly opened.

I think I have had my Novus #2 for quite a few years. Still love it. It got a little thick, over time, but works all the same.
.

I had to constantly clean out the little pour spout with a needle to keep it flowing and even then after a while the liquid thickened. That said it was fine but once I discovered PlastX I switched.

Right now I use do the polishing by hand. Has anyone tried a dremel tool with the polishing head or would that create too much heat?
