Pokémon card repair & restoration

Q: Is it allowed to clean a Pokémon card before grading?

Yes. Light surface cleaning (dust, fingerprints, tiny debris) is accepted by grading companies, as long as the card is not chemically altered or touched up.

Q: Can these products damage the card?

Not when used as directed: alcohol-free spray applied to the microfibre cloth and never directly onto the card, non-abrasive microfibre cloths, a very small amount of gel.

Q: Can you remove a micro-scratch from a Pokémon card?

Yes, if it is light and on the surface. The shine gel, suited to holo surfaces, makes it less visible. A deep scratch will not disappear.

Clean, revive the holo effect, and prepare your cards before PSA, PCA, or CGC grading, without damaging the surface.

How it works

Three gentle gestures, safe for both the ink and the varnish.

STEP 1

Clean

A few sprays onto the microfiber cloth, never onto the card, then wipe lightly from the center toward the edges.

STEP 2

Revive

A very small amount of gel on the applicator to reduce micro-scratches and restore the holographic mirror effect.

STEP 3

Protect

A new sleeve, then a hard case: the card stays clean until it is sent for grading or put in your binder.
