Default Re: Original License Plate Cleaning??

I heard the same thing also and it did not work for me either. I have a few sets of never installed personalized "YENKO" Texas tags from the late 70's that were for YS-070 that are either completely yellowed or partially.

I wish I could help.

Problem is you guys were using the TX sun. Now things may have a different outcome if you use an AZ (Supercharged, solid lifter) sun!

I have not tried compound or any harsh cleaners yet. But that may be my next step. There has to something out there to take this off.

I think the yellowing is caused by the aging of the clear on the plates?

Try some mild rubbing compound in a small area...
