Apply a small amount of CLEAN or GLOW directly to the card.

Use an applicator to gently work the polish in smooth, controlled motions.

Pro Tips:
-
CLEAN is minimally abrasive—start with light pressure and build with confidence.
-
GLOW is non-abrasive and can be used alone if the card appears clean.
-
GLOW may become firm due to temperature changes or formula density. A quick pass with a lighter will gently soften the product for easier use.
-
-
For best results, use CLEAN first to prep the surface—GLOW performs best when applied to a clean card.
-
CLEAN can also be used on slabs to reduce light surface scratches.
What should I avoid?
-
Beginners should avoid using CardRx on autographs, serial numbers, vintage cardboard, matte finishes, textured surfaces, or patch cards, as residue may seep into fabric or stitching. These surfaces are more sensitive and can react unpredictably to enhancement techniques. As you gain experience and refine your method through practice on a variety of cards, you'll unlock safer opportunities to expand into more card types with confidence and control.
-
Leaving behind residue—always wipe clean.
Use at your own risk.
CardRX is designed for safe, surface-level cleaning—but every card is unique. Always test on a low-value item first. Hitz Sports Collectibles is not liable for damage caused by misuse or over-cleaning. PRACTICE - PRACTICE - PRACTICE
Can I reuse the cloth and applicators?
Yes—both the microfiber cloth and applicators can be reused after cleaning. However, we recommend replacing them once they become visibly soiled to avoid buildup, streaking, or cross-contamination.
Will this improve my grading results?
Yes—if used properly, CardRX can improve grading outcomes by reducing surface distractions, removing grime, and enhancing overall presentation. Clean, residue-free cards make a stronger first impression and help maximize eye appeal.
How often should I clean my cards?
Before listing, photographing, or submitting for grading.
