Does anyone have any experience with cleaning sprayed pvc windows like in the photo?

I called round to quote a house today but I told the customer I’d have to check first as I didn’t want to accidentally scratch any paint off.
I’m guessing it depends on how professional the company is doing the job on how durable it is but I’m betting the guarantee over covers peeling/weathering rather than being scratched off with a brush stock!

Any thoughts??

Yes I have one customer that as had them done this summer they have had the roof and chimney done also I clean as normal it’s tough stuff but did notice and pointed out a couple of bits to the customer noticed a couple of mitre joins in the frame that was showing the original white frames. 

 
I have clients that have had their doors done and one that have had all their windows done on a bungalow and one that has had there conservatory done I use a DuPont bristle brush with no issues, But I would wonder how upper sills will hold up over time if they are caught with the plastic brush stock ?

 
I've had 2 customers have this done one was originally mahogany upvc the other white, now they are both battleship grey which seems to  be fashionable at the moment. I've been doing them for nearly a year and just wfp as normal and to be fair they look very good.

The process seems to be is they clean the frames thoroughly, mask them off and spray them.

It's supposed to be a lot cheaper than buying new frames and glass.

Is it my eyesight or have they had the wheelie bin cabinets sprayed too!

 
Cheers fellas 

I’ll send them an email like Part Timer suggested, see what they say. 
I’ll probably leave it anyway, not worth the potential hassle for the sake of £12

 
i had a customer who accused me of damaging her soffits that had been painted on her bungalow.....i was cleaning the windows and didnt go anywhere near her soffits,she also said i damaged her gate post(i didnt)....so i dumped her after a curt text......?
