Slab scratches

What are people using these days to polish out superficial slab scratches? I used to use Slab Renew but the stuff gunked up solid in the bottle over the years and I'd like to be able to buy something generically available in WalMart or someplace similar. Thanks!

Plus a lot of elbow grease.

For PCGS slabs….this.
Haven’t found anything that works on NGC slabs.

@GotTheBug- You have pictures of the problem?

This stuff works well.

Edit to add- I use cotton balls as the polishing cloth.
If you have bad scratches you'll have to start with some fine sandpaper then move to polish.

Ditto.
I don't even mess with NGC slabs. I've never had one not end up worse than when I started.
No, but they're minor so they won't require much elbow grease anyway. Mostly it's like hairline crisscrossing or scrapes that interfere with the view.
Good suggestions on products here - thanks! My headlights need some work so I might get a 2 for 1. Fortunately the few NGC holders I have are relatively clean.
The Novus Polish can be picked up at "Home Depot".
