I have heard good things about Slab Renew, I would give it a shot.

I own a bottle and it does work on most slab scratches. Although my favorite remedy for scratches on a slab is to crack the holder and set the coin free.

My guess is it's the same thing as Novus #2, a plastic polish that removes amall scratches...I've used it on slabs and it works great- it's probably much cheaper...

Isn't it just cheaper to send in the slabs for new ones...

It's only $5.00 each and they look nice when they come back.

Of course pricey to only send one or two, because of the postage.

I recommend it BIG TIME! I've recently tried it and I'm amazed how well it works on PCGS slabs. It also works well on NGC slabs but works especially well on PCGS slabs.

SpaceMonkey

good info... thanks all... gonna give er a shot!

was also a bit worried about whatever the chemical is "gassing" the coins... while it may clean the slab of scratches... i was concerned about the long term "film" that was left on the slab.

There's no "film" left on the holder that wouldn't just gas off. You're being just a little bit paranoid - but that's OK.

Hey, better safe than sorry! I've had good luck with both this product and with Novus polish.

I got some and it works very well

I've been using Brasso for over 10 years now to remove all kinds of scratches from slabs and have tried a multitude of other products, none of which work anywhere near as well.

I've also had good results with Brasso. It even says on their label that it's good for removing scratches from plastic watch crystals.

If I had spare time I'd buy a buch of small bolltes marked "Jer's Secret Recipe Slab Polish" and then repackage this stuff at 100% profit. Actually my guess is that's what slab renew is--repackaged commercial plastic polish. ---Jerry

I've had the same suspicion.

It's the American Way! Give the guy credit for seeing a need and filling it.
ps dont buy the counterfiet Chinese Slab Renew. I hear it has ground up children's toys in it.

just crack it out and re-slab!

<< <i>just crack it out and re-slab! >>



yes, that sounds like a pretty good idea generally speaking... but when you have many slabs... and some higher value ones (like my 50 piece Early Commem set)... I really do not want to send most of the set in for replacement if i can just give them a little polish.

as a follow up though... i did go ahead and order it so i will report back once i get it and try it out.

BTW: Meguiars Rocks! (on cars that is)
