Cleaning off rust from UPVC Windows

We accidentally left a scraper blade on the outside window sill of our new UPVC windows (white).

I've tried Cif to get this off but it's still there. Any other ideas? Hope I can remove it!! Seems pretty engrained to me ....

Thanks all

    use t cut car polish, this will remove it im sure.
    its safe to use on plastic/upvc as ive used it before.

    Try some WD40 first..then progress onto meths if that doesn't work. White spirit may work too. If all else fails i'd resort to a piece of the finest grade of "between coats" sandpaper you can find (it's almost like rubbing with plain paper!) and very gently sand it out with that - hopefully the other solvents will work though.
