Remove scratch from PCGS Holder

I have a couple of slabs with scratches. I have been told that there are ways to remove/polish them rather than reholdering. Any advice is appreciated.

Used it before and I have found that it works well on minor scratches, but not on deep ones.

In general, PCGS slabs are much easier to remove scratches from. NGC plastic tends to hairline, and from a photography standpoint can at times become next to impossible to photograph with direct light. You can get around scuffy slabs in images by diffusing your light, but then coins tend to look dead.

Make sure your final polish is in the same direction that your lighting comes from. So, in my case my lights are primarily always at 10 and 2 and I make sure my final polish is vertical. This way the hairlines on the slab are parallel to the light and largely invisible.
