| I just received a new slabbed book. While running my fingertips over the front and back, looking for scratches, I noticed some residue on the outside of the slab. I tried whipping it down with a microfiber cloth but it didn't help. I have some Tends anti-static plastic cleaner that I've used on animation cels I was thinking about trying that. Any experience with cleaning the slabs? Do's or Dont's? Thank You |

| Use a microfibre cloth, don't use any kind of we spray. That's way too risky. A microfibre cloth will get rid of any of the fingerprints e.c.t. | ||

| Sorry, guy. The only "helpful" suggestion I can give is to go to the automotive parts store and get a headlight reconditioning kit for polishing the "haze" out of plastic headlights. |

| Could it be residue from a label or sticker that was poorly cleaned after it was removed? | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by mattness I've used Goo Gone, Windex, and Novus Plastic Polish. I spay it on a paper towel, clean the spot, and then use another paper towel to buff it dry. These things aren't that fragile, but proceed at your own comfort level. |

| Try alcohol wipes, like for first aid use, they cut through almost any grime and adhesive and the liquid evaporates almost instantly. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by MR_SigS There is no sticker residue. It was stored in an open poly bag and has been in storage since 2011. I guess dust and dirt build up. I can't see anything can but can feel it. Quote: Originally Posted by DrWatson I'll give these a try, thanks. |

| Get some isopropyl alcohol from walmart and a microfiber cloth. If its a residue the alcohol should take it off no problem. | ||
