Original License Plate Cleaning??

Hit it with some clay, then some mild polish. If the backside has color, make sure you're not removing paint. Also, any product with excessive silicone is not ideal for lacquer. 3M Hand Glaze should work...

Personally, I would think of the yellowing as 'patina' and leave them alone.

That is what I thought too. Plates would look better in a 40 year old patina, not brand new!

They look plenty old with the lettering and light scratches. But the white is yellow and would look 100 times better if it was not as yellow....I can deal with a little.

I will try the clay to see what that does. Thanks again!!

If you want, send them to me, I'll clean them for free and send them back.

Let Dan do that for you Anthony. If it can be done he can do it!

Dan,
Thank you so much for the offer!!!!
Last night I used the clay bar and some light 3M compound and got them looking a whole lot better. I think if I go over them a few more times I may be good to go.

But if I can't get them looking any better I will take you up on your offer
