If theres a frequency that sounds nasty i'll notch it out.

if there is a fuzz you can try to remove it with a noise removing filter.(waves xnoise)
Or you can play with an Eq, Use a slim notch and boost it a lot, now sweep up and down until the nasty fuzz really pops out at you, then flip the notch down to a cut and play with the Q until you take out the majority of it.
If it still sounds like shit then its a crappy sample. Don't bother using it
You cant polish a turd! You'll be covered in shit!

I had a load of shitty sounding samples where I'd overprocessed them and then ended up with something pretty useless to be honest - wasn't even aware they sounded so bad until I got some decent monitors.
Shit in, shit out seems to be a fairly good way of looking at it. Better to get good quality samples in the first place. Think the eq sweep above is a good idea, but it depends on how bad the sample is
