Upvc restore, please help...

[Hunty]

Hello all,

I have been asked by a custie to get her frames looking like new again, what Chem would you recommend I use and should I use stainless steel scourers on the frames or is that a no no?

Magic sponge eraser works well. Sold by various outlets under the name of JML Dokter Power or equivalent. Lots of elbow grease.

You could also try a UPVC restorer/reviver which will be available from window fitters suppliers. Best to try a small section which can't be seen. Stay away from rubber seals. These guys sell it in our area.

Most builder's merchants will also sell this.

Wouldn't use steel wool.

We also use CIF for everyday cleaning of UPVC if needed but Astonish also works well.

Screw fix upvc cleaner is good

But if the black rubber is shown and not the frames with PVC covering it be prepared for a waterfall of black on ach window

Jus keep rubbin and Buffon it will stop eventually get loads of clothes

T-cut. Makes short work of it but will leave it with a 'matt' finish

Someone was recommending HG restorer on here the other day which is off the shelf in B&Q - I was going to give that a go but at the moment I use bond it pvcu cream cleaner, similar stuff to t-cut like green suggests but leaves a nice shine. It also does a good job removing rust stains which I was surprised at.

I use old microfibres. Wax on wax off technique. Most cleaners I've used tend to react like Virosol in that they foam a little so I just give it a good rinse with pure, agitate and rinse well again. Glass at the same time not a problem from my experience.
