Be careful using anything with caustic in it don't let it dry on the surface and be careful in hot weather and bright sunlight as it can and will cause permanent staining to white plastic been there and done that years ago , i turned a white plastic conservatory yellow it never did return to white , I suspect that this stuff is just normal tfr caustic that you can buy for car cleaning just rebranded and put in smaller packaging , it would be very intresting to see a copy of the ingredients and percentages of the product and compare it to the 25 ltr drums sold by auto factors I bet it’s the same . There was a guy on the other forum selling g101 claiming that it was his product by a different name all he was doing was buying g101 in bulk re packaging it and ripping people off be careful this isn’t the same type of thing , Ime not saying that it is but just be warned what has happened before 
i think i remember him had a weird forum name ,    it's an always pre wet product and with anything like this or bleachy i only do a side at a time the lad that sells it  was one of 3 lads that created vision ( which i can't make my mind up about)  but he's one of the trustworthy  ones i believe     although i'm sure bonnymans sell something similar lol 

 
Was going to try some of their non caustic tfr  until I read there data sheet which says corrosive/severe skin burns  I would call that mis selling . 

 
Word, even the pink stuff & unger rub out dont do it. I swear the plastic on fascias & gutters is a totally different grade to window frames & sills. Greys can be removed from window fixtures if you put the effort in, but try doing the same up tops and its a different story. This is why im careful with how i word my quotes,

i generally write 

“clean” windows & sills or “restore” windows and sills.

whenever the fsg part comes i put

”wash” gutters, fascias & soffits

that way if there’s any comeback asking why there are still tiger stripes i can say, well when you signed the quote form it does say “wash” not one customer has mentioned it ever but just in case...you always get the awkward ones ?

I remember quoting a bungalow a year or two ago, it was clean ish but riddled with tiger stripes. i did explain them “there is absolutely nothing i can do for that, youd be better off replacing them” and they agreed straight away after i did a test patch proving to them that my magic sponge and unger rub out wouldn’t shift any of it
I just say I 'wash' frames and sills.
