Removing paint from upvc door - HELP

Hi, I don't know if anyone can help. Some little toerags have been at it with the spray paint on my front door before I got home tonight :(

I went at it liberally with the turps and got a lot of it off but there's still stain on it. Does anyone have any idea if there is anything that will remove the stains/shadow or resurface the door?

I could claim on the insurance but I suspect my premium would double so I'm not sure it's worth it if there is some way of removing it?

    there are some mild graffitti removers out there that might do the trick (I believe screwfix have some) another thing you could try is adhesive cleaner, we used this on some vandalised plastic sign in my work and it worked well, I would test it on a unnobtrusive part first though

    Be aware your premium wont double! The insureres would only send out a specialist cleaning company anyway. Try brasso as it has a mildly abbrasive additive and is useful on many surfaces.
    Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.
