I've taken our personalised plates off a couple of vehicles which are being sold/replaced.
The plates are quite grubby and I wondered if the paint would survive a trip through the dishwasher? Anyone tried that?

I figured that might be the case (although one of the plates has an orange border which I noted was quite faded!) but did not want to be left with two sets of shiny aluminium plates..! That would spoil the new cars no end...
IIRC you can get a new set for $20-30.

Ive got cups with pics on them, some have now faded due to the dishwasher . Its a great but rugged clean.
There is no way I'd want to wash something covered in hydrocarbons in a dishwasher that I then put things in that I eat from!

I'd be more squeamish about the collection of insect parts and dried road-kill juice.
Actually come to think of it, for anybody with personalised plates, I suggest they best lick them clean with their tongue.

Dishwasher is for food related items only. The grime on the number plates would have all kinds of nasty heavy metals and other toxins. You can't guarantee they will be clear of the machine by the time you load your plates and cutlery. Some soap, a bucket and a stiff cleaning brush from Repco is the answer

What - the 1983 Honda or the plate?
I've run motorcycle parts through the dishwasher at work before.. I did get told off by the office ladies but they came out clean and shiny :-)
