Care & Maintenance of Your Plate

Here are some basic instructions for washing your custom European license plate:

  1. Remove your plate and frame from the vehicle
  2. Remove the plate from the frame
  3. Use regular dish soap and water to wash both, GENTLY.
  4. Put everything back together and re-mount it to your vehicle

Things to avoid:

  1. Car Washes (more on this below)
  2. Harsh Chemicals (409, Clorox, etc)

I’ve had a few customers complain that their plates have been damaged in car washes. Unfortunately, this is nearly unavoidable. Not only do car washes generally use recycled water (that may have sand and grit), but they often have high pressure washes of 1,000 psi! The general strategy of car washes is to post a sign “Not Responsible For Damage To Customer’s Vehicle.”  If they might cause damage to your vehicle–they will almost assuredly cause damage to your plate.

Here’s an article I found that goes into a little more detail: The Pitfalls of Using Touch-Less and Other Automatic Car Washes

 

Shipping Rates & Information

shp-picThe most popular questions I received this week were in regards to shipping.  Essentially, do you ship to my country? Or, how much does shipping cost?  Since most of our orders are in the United States, we have the most shipping options: Standard US Postal Service, FedEx 3-day, 2-day, and overnight.  For all other countries, we ship FedEx International Priority, which takes about a week.  I made this handy shipping rates and information table on our site.  Check it out for the complete list of places that we deliver and their associated shipping costs.

On a related note, if you are outside the US, and you order accessories (Registration Seals or License Plate Mounting Hardware), these ship separately from the plates.  The plate and accessories usually arrive within a few days on each other.

German License Plate Format

People often call wanting an authentic German License Plate, but, other than that, they are not sure what they want.  While we have plenty of stock German License Plates, you can customize your plate and retain the authentic look if you know the basic system of how Germany assigns their license plate numbers.

IN GENERAL, German License Plates  have the following basic format:
