Freshening up your coin window on your slab. I purchased a few coins with some DEEP scratches, and they look like they were dragged on pea gravel. They were auction coins and some people might want to tell people when the holders are less than stellar..*hint*.. anyways.. you can save them. I did take some before pics on the toned coin. The holder was the worst. It took me 15-20 mins a side to get 98% of the scratches out. Directions: Dab a spot of polish on the window and rub it around the window with your finger until its covered. I used a blue shop towel folded till it was about 1/2 wide and polished in a circular motion, continuously until the polish was gone. You have to apply some pressure. Then I wiped it with a damp microfiber towel. Repeat until your scratches are gone. (Lay the slab on another microfiber, don't do it on a table surface.) Then polish the entire slab with an acrylic polish. They come out fantastic. The 95-s had a lot of small micro scratches giving it a haze especially on the reverse. I polished both sides and its spot on. I can't fix the small break in the holder rim. But all is good. Maybe I'll get a booth at a show as Dab-A-Slab slab restorer...

Did you use Polywatch for polish? Most of my issues are superficial scuffs.
