Is there a SAFE way to clean the "goop" off of TPG holders ? I recently purchased a very nice coin but there is all this sticky label glue on the hoder. I want to remove the goop without damaging the plastic......any suggestions ?

Thanks in advance, Mark

We use Goo Gone on sticky stuff at our store. Seems to be fine for plastics. I would try water first, then goo gone, then windex. I guess I should not give advise on this as I have not tried it on holders but the method has not hurt anything I have used it on in our gift/furniture store for the past 7 years.

I use Slab-Renew. It takes the scratches and goop/stickers off the slab, makes it look like new. It goes on and dries clear, really like how it gets rid of those annoying slab scratches.

You can buy headlight lens polish at most auto parts stores.

As noted already headlight cleaning solutions are in almost all auto parts stores and in the auto sections of Walmart, Kmart, Sears, Target, etc. There are many different kinds and oddly enough I've had great luck with one of the cheapest versions. At Walmart I've seen about 5 or more different ones with prices from a few dollars to as high as $25.
I've used it on almost every type of plastic with no ill effects.
Don't know if you use those outdoor Solar lights but one of the biggest problems with them is the collectors get all dirty and messed up so I use that stuff on them and they look new again. Not only takes off discolorations but keeps dirt off really nice too.
