How does it work on NGC slabs? I can never get anything to work on those slabs.

Yes the parameters for the pics were exactly the same. I used the scope at the shop, it has a fluorescent light source and sometimes it makes the pics a little green. I used the same magnification and focal point for both pictures, but I did not notice the
"after" pic was green tinted until I got home and downloaded it. I could have made it silver/gray by reducing the saturation, but I did not want to alter the pics if I could help it.

I have to get a coin in an NCG slab Amazon , and I will be testing it on them too. I will post the different slabs as I can- but don't hold your breath, it is not a real priority when I am at the shop. I will get a bottle and make time to do it at home.

garylcsr, I would hope that the TPG's do not use a plastic that would become cloudy after time, if they do/did , there will be alot of mad collectors out there. Probably a UV light thing that clouds some plastics. Most slabs do not see alot of UV exposure, but one sitting in a shop display case for awhile might, I would think this would be known by now.

I'm not talking about the slabs that sit in UV light. I am talking about that cloud that most of us get on our headlights. believe it or not that is just wax and can be polished off.
but I think this stuff you used has got to have wax as a main component and that is where your film will come from. I hope it don't happen but I would still rather wait a few years till it is proven that it don't film or cloud over.
good luck in any case
Gary
Rest in Peace

A jeweler gave me a stick of a special rouge for polishing plastic. Our UPS man had a LED watch you could barely read thru the scratches. Less than five seconds on the buffing wheel and it was good as new.
