My ID plate is a little grubby ( probably had the top down too much ! ) not so much on the silver printing, but in the engraving on the bottom line.
Does anyone have any successful experience of cleaning this ?
... if so what materials/method did you use ?
I am a little afraid that a cleaning process might degrade the rest of the plate, so I have not yet attempted to clean it.Best way to clean the ID plate

Honestly speaking I would just use a microfiber and water

Re: Best way to clean the ID plate
I would agree, don’t use anything too abrasive, the black paint is very thin and easily scratched. Maybe a soft bristled brush might help to remove dirt from the engraving but don’t be too vigorous.

Re: Best way to clean the ID plate
In addition to replies here, I have had pm's on this topic
so thanks everyone for the suggestions and just as importantly warnings about what NOT to use/do !
I am going to tread carefully.

Re: Best way to clean the ID plate
Doesn't look like it needs cleaning.
But if it did the maximum I would use is a very very very weak APC on a cloth. Like 15:1 tops.
