[QUOTE="kanga, post: 837988, member: 9270"]I use Novus. #2 has handled about 90% of the scratches I've encountered. #3 works for most of the rest (you have to follow up with #2 because #3 is abrasive enough to make the surface look slightly foggy). Occasionally the scratch is deep enough that #3 won't completely remove it, but I can live with that. #1 helps with dirt, fingerprints and other crud. The only problem I've encountered that Novus doesn't handle is adhesives from labels that have been peeled off. [B]DON'T USE [U]ACETONE[/U] TO REMOVE THE ADHESIVE.[/B] It will [U][B]REALLY[/B][/U] mess the slab up. You can use isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol but [U][B]ONLY[/B][/U] the 70% stuff you get from the drug store. The 95% stuff will behave the same as acetone and mess up the slab. And even with the 70% stuff don't let it remain too long on the slab. Someone may have a better suggestion for removing adhesives.[/QUOTE]
