I used a product called "slab-renew" I bought it off Ebay for about $13 it takes out deep scratches but it takes several Coats to get the scratch blemished out, at the end you'll still have "Hairlines" on the slabs from buffing it out with soft cloth, even Pure silk will will leave small hairlines on clear plastic, way I see it "Hairlines" are better than deep scratched, but some buyers will complain about small hairlines on slabs, slabs are made to protect the coin, every time you pick a slab up it gonna get very tiny scratches that all they were developed for like saying goes "buy the coin NOT THE SLAB"[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
