The best one is don’t take the job on ????? . We use solvent cleaner like the window fitters use it will remove most staining but cement might need the gentle use of a scraper.

google wurth type 10 solvent cleaner, its far far better than what the window fitters use but you have to be carefull with it, you have to be quick to remove the stains and only use outside never indoors, it will remove 99% of marks use a scrim or white paper towel to apply. i remember a product called cement off which i've heard i good, i think @Dave Bhas used it although i could be wrong on that?.

Spray on..wait..wipe off.

It having a load of chemicals is useless unless you know how to use each and everyone correctly 

I turn down builders cleans, waste of time and reputation

When you use a solvent cleaner, does it make the pvc look like new for long?  Like when you use pink stuff or something like that the effects are instant but it very quickly starts picking up dirt like it did before as the surface just hasn't got that new pvc shine.  Does a solvent pvc cleaner have a longer lasting effect?

PVC is affected and aged via UV light from the sun and heat. Depending on it's orientation towards the sun

It's not worth trying to offer a restoration service as time spent won't make you a Fortune

It sort  of dissolves the surface of the plastic removing anything that has stained or is stuck to it it’s ideal for  removing sticky labels , and generally ingrained dirt , it will obviously get dirty again but with road grime not stuff that causes staining , get some and try a bit think it costs  around £3-5 for 1 ltr bottle

I've got some but never used it, was just wondering whether it restores the plastic back to like new and whether it kept that way.  I got a tin 2 years ago but have never bothered using it.  Probably give it a whirl when the weather warms up a touch.

actually its not, when formulated, pvcu will have the correct amount of titanium dioxide in relation to our position on the hemisphere,

long gone are the days of premier pink- maybe @steve garwoodwould remember them.

everything post the 90's is stable and does not degrade or age from sunlight or uv a,b,or c.

Taking the job on means they might try and blame you for scratches. More hassle involved with the little money one makes. I don't do them. ?

I always thought they used zinc oxide as well as it keeps it white.

They don’t call modern cladding etc UPVC anymore because of the way it’s now made.

The modern stuff is called PVCU and is far more stable against sunlight etc.

Don’t ask me why, I’ve been out that game for 28 years and things move so fast nowadays ?
