What's the best scratch remover for use on slabs?

[huey-migration]

Hello. Thanks for the new board format.

 

I've been wondering, what's the best scratch remover for use on slabs? Has anyone tried the brand, Lens Dr, which is often advertised on TV for use on glasses?

First of all Welcome Huey. They had a post on this a while back./ Can't remember what it was. Maybe someone else will be able to remember or have thier own ideas. I only have a few and haven't messed with them.

Welcome to the forum Huey. I use a product called Slab-Renew. It can be bought on Ebay. Works well on light surface scratches.

I wonder if Ice Creme scratch remover for iPods would work on slabs? Radtech advertises it as being good for acrylic. This might be a good question for the "Ask NGC" section.

3M makes a plastic polish that works really well.

Lens Doctor received really poor review from Consumer Reports magazine for making eye-glass vision more blurry. I would not use it on slabs.

I use Janvil Plastic Scratch Remover works fairly well. I picked it up on the web somewhere. The stuff makes a PCGS holder look new. It is OK on NGC holders but it doesn't do as well as it does on PCGS,. There is some kind of weird plastic on NGC holders.

I have never tried this on Slabs before, but Mother's wax sure cleaned the scratches off my Jeep's Headlamp covers which I was told by the dealer had to be replaced. I saw an ad on the tube-bought some and voila, I saved several hundred dollars. The covers are made of high impact plastic. Might work, might not--just a thought.

It just so happens that this is exactly what I use on the slabs. It will not remove even moderate scratches or abrasions, but does two things well: (1) removes adhesive gunk (2) polishes out mild scratches and problems. I don't know if it's the best solution, but it is what I use, with some success.
