scratched slabs and slab holders

I'm sure many of us coin fanatics have run into the issue of scratched/rubbed slabs. It's kind of frustrating to not have that really great view because of scratches in the plastic. For my collection, I have been using (and very much liking) the 2x2 Eagle coin holders (for my foreign Music Coins collection) and their slab pages which are a nice semi-rigid plastic and "reasonably" sturdy (though I have had to replace quite a few over the years because they eventually tear or separate). At $4.75 more or less per page...they get pricy and I hear there is a new slab page that is less expensive. Haven't found them yet, however. I do believe there is some rubbing on the slab when I remove the coins from the Eagle slab "pages".
Anyway, I digress (as usual). I saw an ad for a product that is supposed to help the scratches on slabs but I don't remember the name and certainly don't know how it works, or where to get it. Does anyone have any information on this, please?
Many thanks. Alan MusicAl

You can't miss them
Since then I actually found a small buffing pad that lessens the rubbing. Went to Wall Mart.
My thread on this subject.
Very much appreciated.
It is absolutely amazing how, no matter what the question, a bunch of great fellow collectors jump in to help me out. Thanks for the posts on scratched slabs restoration. Your comments and suggestions are very much appreciated and I will be trying out one of the recommended products as soon as I get to shopping for it.
Thanks, gentlemen!!

My bottle of Plast X arrived today from Amazon.com. The coins are in the bank so next trip I'll bring the scratched slabs home and give the stuff a shot. Thank you all for your suggestions and input!
