I will try that thank you very muchJust use upvc cleaner should come straight off
It's only two windows fortunately.That's a frame restoration job if all the windows are like that.

What tfr do you recommend ?That looks like soap build up - so not necessarily the seals breaking down. Once you get them off as long as you are cleaning them regularly they will come off with a bit of TFR on the brush. The pink stuff would blast through them stains - especially with a magic sponge and a washing up type of brush. Even a bad ‘restore’ would take 10-15 minutes at the most per window so just price it right and give the customer the blurb that if the seals are knackered they will bleed again. I find the older windows (like in the picture) don’t stain as bad as new plastic. New builds are a pain in the ar$e as virtually every window have the bleed makes on once they’ve been cleaned a few times.

I agree but it does also depends how much work you have on, when I was relatively new I would do little favours like this for just a little bit extra if I knew I had the time. Once you've done it you generally have a customer for life and they'll be more forgiving with any small issues if they occur in future for whatever reason.I wouldn't get to heavily involved in trying to restore it back to white unless the custy was paying me £10 a window. Better to tell them they need to live with it or pay you to restore them.
Dude your accountant is gonna kill you if you buy any more magic sponges ?That looks like soap build up - so not necessarily the seals breaking down.

You do need to careful there, 2 years later and your round is bursting.... the same customer will look at you as if you have 10 heads when you tell him/her £10 a window.I agree but it does also depends how much work you have on, when I was relatively new I would do little favours like this for just a little bit extra if I knew I had the time.

I have a 3yr ols daughter, I get offered clothes and toys etc. all the time. I also got a free Marantz Amplifier as a customer asked me if I knew anything about setting up her new surround system. Sometimes if its just little small jobs like unblocking one downpipe by taking apart the u-bend. It's a 2min job and sometimes its worth more to you to just say 'ahh don't worry about it its a favour, only took me 2mins. they'll generally insist of tipping you more than you were going to charge and they'll be more likely to say yes to your quote of £180 for fascias and gutters in future if they like you and trust that you're not out to just rip them off. ?Today I pick up 2 leather couches from one of my loyal customers because they are getting new ones. They offered them to me free as I do other bits and pieces for them for free. So I totally agree with you, one good deed will always be remembered but so will the bad one. :1f609:

My youngest son came home today with a couch that was given to him by someone he doesn’t know.Today I pick up 2 leather couches from one of my loyal customers because they are getting new ones.
