so, simply put.... Pure alchool destroys acrylic made plaques.
It literally melts them down and, as a matter of facts, I discovered this procedure by damaging some old made in China plaques of mine.
For the same reason, VERY little amounts of alchool can be used as a polishing ACID in order to remove scratches or re-shine the plques.
The principle, is the following:
Take your finger tip, make it very LITTLE wet (almost dry) with alchool (no drops, LESS than in the example)... and then start hard pressing your very little-moisty finger tip over the plaque in a forward/backward motion, like you were shining a metal surface using a lot of pressure.
Start with close to zero alchool amount, and when you start seeing results, you can try to use a little more alchool (but never let any drop touch the plaque).
If the scratch is very bad, don't do your movements along the scratch, but 90 degrees to it.

Or just buff them with a very mild compound. For plaques with a few years of use, a fabric wheel with a few drops of headlight restorer.
