I was just wondering if anybody knew of a way to remove scratches on the slabs. I'm trying to photograph some of my coins but some of the slabs have scratches on them right over the tops of the coins.

I have heard of people using automotive polish to remove scuff marks on coin slabs. I have also seen some scratch remover on ebay that claims to remove the scratches but have never used either of these methods myself
