[QUOTE="nuMRmatist, post: 4601629, member: 33012"]Absolutely no, on abrasives Kentucky. Many years ago, I spent 9 - 10 weeks, 4 hrs / day , 4-5 times a week, polishing a Black vette BY HAND. (my t-shirts fit differently after this time ) Sections @ a time, 1 x with 2,000 grit, 3 x with Rubbing Compound, 3 x ++++, with Polishing Compound, to achieve 'sheeted-water' finish. I did. I DID during that time, contact research and development @ 2 companies, about making a polishing compound, that would 'solve' BRIEFLY factory finish (slightly different than polycarbonate) to facilitate 'orange peel' removal. It had already been researched. Liability was the concern... ed.: hotwheelsearl - there is a HUGE difference between levelling out [slab] material with abrasives, as opposed to just 'filling in', with wax / oil , for purposes of taking pics. I would surely take the easier route, even tho' personally, I'd be fearless about chemical damage to a coin within. Just me tho'.......[/QUOTE]
