Polishing your slab - removing scratches & scuffs 0

[vheflin]

Got a freshly slabbed slab off feebay and low and behold there's a scuff on the case above the label

Was able to remove it using plastic polish from an auto supply store (normally used to polish foggy headlamp covers).

First, I wiped the area with a microfiber cloth to clean and make sure it's an abrasion, not a smudge.

Used a paper towel and a pea-sized drop of polish, no pressure, with circular and side-to-side motion then wiped the residue off with a clean paper towel.  This plastic is soft so it only took 3 rubbings to get the job done.

Apologies if this is common knowledge. These cases scratch easy so no need to reslab if you have a heavily abraded case.  You could even take a buffing wheel to it if you're hardcore.

NEXT UP: waxing a slab! Furniture wax? Car wax? Not sure when I'll do this so if someone else wants to take the plunge...

I don't need no instructions to polish off a slab of ribs!

Glad to know this as I received 14 slabs from CGC last week and three of them have scuffs on them I need to polish out.
