From Mucky to Brand New Again, Do I Clean Them Any Differently?
With 3D gel resin number plates, you are best to treat them like a standard set of flat 2D plates. Clean them as normal with your sponge/wash mitt.

How to clean your 4D or 4D with gel number plates
Cleaning your 4D laser cut acrylic number plates is a lot different to cleaning 3D gel number plates. We have found the best way to clean your 4D number plates for a flawless finish is to agitate an all purpose cleaner or some snow foam into the letters with a detailing brush. After this process, lightly rinse them with a hose pipe or a pressure washer at a distance. Pat the number plates dry with a plush/soft microfibre towel. An alternative method for drying the plates plates is to use a compressed air line or a MetroVac Blow Dryer. Our 4D / 4D gel resin plates will be fine to polish and wax, but we don't advise this as it will be very difficult to get all of the excess polish/wax off the plate. We find that spraying glass cleaner, or Mr Sheen onto a cloth and then gently wiping the plates down seems to be the best way to get them clean and shiny after the plate is dry.
