removing fence paint off upvc and glass

[chris clean]

Hi guys had a look through some old threads on this but a few conflicting ideas. So i have a big house to do first clean plus facias gutters conny roof etc. The back door has spots of fence paint all over glass and upvc. I wacked on a nice bit to quote knowing it will take a while but what's your favourite or best way of cleaning this off? Any suggestions appreciated /emoticons/smile.png

Scraper , should wipe of the pvc with force , if not use white spirits or cellulose thinners

 

[chris clean]

Ah ok is white spirit ok on upvc I don't wanna discolour it or anything?!!!

Scraper with a nice sharp blade for the glass

Magic sponge wet for upvc

I once tried to gently scrape paint off upvc frames with a scraper (way back in the numpty days lol) and all it will do is take chunks out of the upvc

Magic sponge is also good on the glass for just a few spots if it saves swapping to a scraper for just a couple of spots

Lol have plenty of numpty moments but you live and learn /emoticons/smile.png cheers for that daveboy I will give it a go with the sponge

 

[CHWS]

It shouldn't do , I've only ever used it on white

 

[chris clean]

It's white I'm doing so should be ok if i need to use it then. Maybe I will play it safety first and try on a tiny spot low down first! I know if i was this personni i would have whoever the hell splashed paint all over the door come back and clean it up rather than pay me to do it but I ain't complaining

wet it down first then use a scraper with a sharp blade use acetone for frames

 

[Dave B]

Acetone makes pvc brittle

They should of been more careful when painting the fence, I have one house i do where nearly every pane on there conservatory is splatterd badly, no way am I removing it, unless they ask me and it's ££££

Tested a new cleaner today, nothing would shift the paint - my usual polish, HG heavy duty, isopropanol. It literally wiped straight off with this stuff. I assume it's the same from all suppliers just rebranded. But the stuff I used was bond-it solvent cleaner. I know a lot of the guys use a similar thing (smells like pear drops) but I was really surprised at how effective it was.

eBay 361413912314. The guy I got it off isn't selling it anymore but the item number above is only 20p dearer at a whole £6. I've got another couple of houses to try it on in a fortnight so we will see if it's staying in the van full time!!!
