Did up a couple of white acrylic back lit faces last year. The company was just bought out and the new owners have asked me to re-letter them. I just got them into the shop and, after just 1 year, they have begun to yellow a bit.
Anyone have a good homemade remedy to get rid of the yellowing? Mild abrasive or cleaner?
Thanks, Rapid

Must be Lexan as it yellows, hard pressed to remove it. Replace faces with clear acrylic, spray in reverse from back. Old school is best in this venue.

The customer stopped in and said he was okay with it as is. Banged them out and just got back from the install. This was a "fast-cheap" to get by until next spring when we go whole hog on permanent signage.
..and yes...the next time they'll be new.
Thanks again, Rapid
