I bought a 60"x 40" Porcelain 2 sided  sign over the weekend item # 380265385377. What is the best way to go about cleaning & shining it up. It looks to be in excellent shape. Thanks Steve

Very Nice Purchase ! ! !

Clean with warm soap/water and for tougher stained areas, I have good success with softscrub w/ bleach...
Once cleaned well, I have even buffed and waxed porcelain signs with awesome results.

I`ve had great results on porcelain with a cotton-wadding product called Nevr-Dull Magic Wadding Polish. Comes in a blue 5oz tin and is designed for use on metals and showers, sinks, etc... it`s been around for decades and works perfectly...

It`s made by The George Basch Co in Freeport NY...

Thanks everyone for all the reply's. I picked this sign up yesterday and it is a beauty. Bought a cleaner called never dull and this sign turned out awesome. The shine and lust is incredible. I am in awe!! Does anyone one have any thoughts as to age and  where it could of hung 50- 60 years ago. I think te pat in the Pat  info indicates a year time frame.Thanks Steve

Where do you buy nevr dull? My metal shop teacher in high school let me use some once and it was some great stuff but I never figured out where you can get it.
