Ultimate Guide To Sports Card Surface Repair! Quick Steps to See Results! 

I miss the days when you could sit down, trade cards and not even look at a corner or a blemish. We were beyond excited to get the card we wanted no matter what it looked like.

Whoever says this is illegal don't know the laws! 🖕🏽🤣🖕🏽.. IT'S NOT AGAINST THE LAW!!

This video is AMAZING.. The true $1Million question is does or can the 3rd party grading companies detect the cards have been cleaned with a chem based solution and or have you ever ran into this issue with one PSA , Beckett, etcetcetc.. Thanks Man!

Compound is not wax. It will actually remove wax. If you need something less aggressive use machine polish. It's a step down from compound.

7:25 - Wonder how many dogs tilted their heads right there... 🐕

Well, everyoone has their opinion... Heres the deal and im sure the card slab bozos will eventually follow suit. Its a no no to clean the crap of an coin. However, if you pay them, they will remove anything you want with the same same stuff that if you used it and submitted, you receive a slab saying cleaned or rough clean. Now isnt that hypocritical!!! If thats the, if you cracked the case and resubmitted to another company, you should come back with a cleaned coin correct??? The other end is that, you arent paid, so your not a professional., when and how did the graders concoct there mystery fluids ahhh you tube??? Too much hypocricy in the collecting word. Imho, if its yours you should be able to do whatever you want. If you ever go to sell, honest disclosure. Its just a bunch of bs!!! These oriental cards in most cases are scratched to crap and dinged right out of a pack that was in a bax that cost 40 bucks plus with tax. In first grade I bought my first pack of TOPPS baseball cards. NINE CENTS for the pack! No one gave a hoot about grading and slabbing. A few years later, we started figuring out how to assigning grades such as we now pay psa for, correct... They charge a heftey price and have been proven to be off half the time by resubbing. Its all hypocricy. These companies want you to belIieve you need them so they have a job and stay in business. Authenication is all any are good for and thats if they are qualified! I personally had a Dimaggio ball pass, then fail trying to get a second cert. So where are we... Hypocricy. No one needs these high priced ass clowns! Way back then, nor do they today. These slabbers have totally destroyed the hobby!!!! My point is. Card collecting is still a childs hobby, but how many first graders are going to pull 2 andrew jacksons out of their pocket while stopping at the store on their way home from school...

Does this work for Kabooms? 😅

Hey man, awesome video. Where did you get your applicater? I went to Walmart after watching your video and found all the Meguirs products but none came with the applicator. Thanks!

So is there any long term issues that might arise from using the car wax?

Would this help on a Donruss football downtown ?

Can u use this cleaning tools on pokemon cards as well ????

Is this easier on holo cards? And is there an easier way to do it or different tools to try to make it disappear. I have a rookie on card Josh giddey auto that I received in a slab and just noticed the smallest Scratch in the bottom corner smh I just wanna sell it raw but how much would that scratch devalue it?

have you done this on the back of a topps silver pack 1989 card?

You said “Magauairs” can mess up the coloring of the card depending on what type of card it is. If you use it on NBA chrome cards would Maguairs be completely fine to use on those type of cards without worrying about messing up the coloration?

Will this work on vintage cards ?

I have a tlaw with the exact issue, I would like to see you grade a few of these and see what the results are. I come from a coin collection background and cleaning coins is a huge NO! but cards are different.

Do not use this approach Especially on backs of cards It creates rings. You can’t remove them. Bad video

Does that foam car spray leave an odor on the card? Thanks

I know this is an old video, but will this work for Pokémon vintage,holos?

Do you have any success in dealing with heavy print lines going across the entire card…are those even fixable using these applications?

Thanks for the video. I've been struggling to figure out what to use on some of the Optic/Prizm cards with micro scratches. How do you handle cleaning cards with autos?

Print lines and smudges are not part of the card. Don’t see a problem with fixing a problem from the printer. Trimming cards is fraud, not cleaning it. Just my opinion, I’m no expert

Does the the Meguires need to be this specific one? Ultimate Compound?

So i found that on Bowman Chrome, this worked absolute wonders. However, i have noticed on Prizm Basketball that if im really trying to work a print line or scratch out, i end up with this hazy splotchy kind of surface in some areas. It almost looks like tape residue, maybe too aggressive with the polish and sponge and damaged the top coat with heat or abbrasion? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Can i use a dishwashing sponge like the light green squisht soft side so i can hear that beautiful squeaky cry of scratches and dirt leaving my card? 😂🎉

The comic book hobby went through this controversy 20+ years ago (cleaning and heat pressing to remove defects)… it is now accepted as it is undetectable too expensive to do so. It’s now widely accepted and comics are often advertised as ‘never pressed’ as an added bonus, meaning the collector can press the book and see a grade bump if submitted. Also, reportedly, people (including high end investors) were already doing this for years before the average collector was aware. I suspect the same is happening with the card market. Those opposed might as well accept it as where there’s a will, there’s a way. I see no issue here.

PSA is deactivating/not allowing cards with outside chemicals on them. Ungradeable SMH

Can you use Kurt’s on the back of cards to get printing lines out

Is there anything you can do for the back of the card? Particularly a light scratch or scuff.

Will the miguars work for scratches on the back of prizm cards?

Do you know how to fix a big ass dent on a card?

Doesn't work unless you run them through the carwash afterwards and push the button for the carnauba wax.

Yes, but you could see the high and low spots now which will make it obvious to PSA that you alter the card

Dumb question but this method works on the back of Prizm cards as well right?

Hey man! Nice vid. Do you know if this Mcguire product can correct small scrathes on cardboard cards like Pokemon or Yugioh? I'm very curious about that.🙂

Can Kurt Card care remove dimples

Is there any way to fix the haze spot from not using Kurt’s card care first?

Hye man thanks for the video and it absolutely works but some will take a bit longer. However i have a question for you. When i polish the chrome cards for too many times. There's a ring starting to appear. I did use kurts polish before using the compound. My question to you is, how u get rid of that haze ring?

Great video! Thanks for steps. I guess dimple are the only issues now.

Hello sir may ask where would it be possible to get cards clean and polish rather doing it yourself and yes I know but rather have an expert. Do you know any website or person who can help? Thank you

I’m using this to repair a rookie Wayne Gretzky card, hope it actually works lol

I have a mosaic white sparkle Anthony richardson card and on the back the film is lifting up on the top of the card where the edge is. Would a heat press bond it back together or should I just try and get a replacement from panini?

So do you use Meguiars and Kurt’s or just one?

Hey, just came across your video. Very helpful. I am curious, is the pad you bought a "finishing pad", "heavy polishing pad", "light-med pad", or "med-heavy cutting pad"? I see a similar hex looking pad on Amazon to yours..but they have these 4 options, for types of pad. Thank you.

Great video! Quick question. What is the brand of the orange sponge you’re using in the video? Thanks

I've tried using the Meguiars compound. It fixed a scratch on one card but another card still had the scratch and wont go away. I applied about it like 5 -10 times. It was on a bowman chrome card. Any tips?

i have a small ink pen mark on the back of a montana 8 rookie which has a chance at a 10.... any recommendations? willing to pay

How many cards do you usally get through per tin?

It is absolutely detectable. Ever run your hand or a dry cloth across a fresh waxed car surface ?

Zero issue with this. Not something I'm doing but I have no issue with cleaning the grime off 90s refractors and getting factory detritus off cards.

Hey i got the haze. Is that permanent? 😢

Great video. Can you repair dimples?

Hey bro did u end up sending the cards to psa ??

This is smart. Just like you would deep clean your car before selling. But does it work? Can card get damaged in process?

You may have mentioned it in the video-if so, I apologize for missing it-but does Meguiar’s work on the back of chrome cards with roller lines? Is it safe? Thanks!

Accept the grade and move on

If your subbing cards without using Kurt’s…your throwing away money… use it with every card I sub…always 9s and 10s 👌🏼

Great job my man!!

Any tips for getting out a slight crease?

Lot of work for $15 to $50

I am not sure I am that upset at people doing this stuff, just wish PSA was a lot better at detecting this stuff and just charge the grading fees but not grade it.

"Why is my PSA 10 T-Law turning green?" This. This is why.

this should be illegal, you are altering the card and it should not be submitted for grading, shame on you!

You really shouldn’t be showing this… it’s unethical and bordering on fraud

Oil paintings are restored all the time. Why not do it to cards?

I was thinking i was gonna see Gem Mint Jon's Juice v1. Happy to see you guys accepting this.
