I recently picked up some mini marquees from a local arcade operator, and was wondering if anyone knows a safe way to clean them to remove the yellowing effect? I tried standard windex, but it really didn't help. I don't want to get too crazy as some of the harsher cleaners might rub the color off of the back. Anyone have a solution?

I dont think there is any way to clean it off since it is a side effect of the marquee actually being baked ,usually by having the wrong type of lights or in a conversion cabinet.

As far as I know the plastic yellows all the way through.

mine cleaned off with harsher chemicals...it seemed more like nicotine stains on mine tho (from a smoky bar came the cab)

Thanks for the inputs guys. I'm going to try some nicotine remover to see if that does anything, otherwise I'll just have to live with it.

Yea,my Baseball 2020 mini marquee looks yellow.
I tried to clean it with basic cleaners and its still the same.
I'm scared to try and use something stronger I don't want to ruin it.
