How to polish up your scratched slabs.
I know Jeremy has mentioned this a few times on SCL and I've posted it on my ig a couple times but seems like some people are still not familiar with this super easy fix for your scratched slabs.
Most of the slabs I buy online show up somewhere between sorta scratched and nearly destroyed but there is a dead simple fix.
Run to your local Canadian Tire (or Amazon) and buy Meguiar's Scratch X 2.0.
Its made for polishing your cars plastic headlights but it works AMAZING on card slabs.
1- Put a loonie sized dab on the slab and work it in a circular motion with a clean microfiber cloth for 20-30 seconds.
2- Once its worked in (will look kinda hazzy) simply buff it off with a new clean microfiber.
3- Repeat steps 1 and 2 if the slab is still scratched up. Doesn't need super hard pressure, I'd say start light and slowly work up the pressure for deeper scratches.
Note: this stuff is a polishing compound so it is 'sanding off' a very thin layer of material to buff the surface clean. So don't concentrate too much on one spot, do the whole slab and always work in a circular motion.
Anyways onto the before and afters....
Joe Sakic before/after. Couple fairly deep scratches.
Jagr before/after. Tons of light scratches as the slab was nearly 20 years old.
And this extremely well used Gretzky. The slab looking like it was been sanded with sandpaper and was trashed. Thought it might need a reslab it was so foggy.
Happy polishing!
