You may find that it permanently marks the UPVC, expanding foam can have strange effects on plastics.

If you've not touched it yet then don't, leave it till it cures and you'll find that it will come off easily and any small marks left are easily cleaned. If however you've tried wiping or scraping it off while it's wet then you've got a bit of work on your hands

Leave it for at least a couple of days to completely dry.

They normally say 12-24 hrs. Balls to that.

Then cut the majority of the bulk away with a sharp blade & the stuff closest with fine grade sand paper or elbow grease.

I got rid of some excess with a dremel the other day but that was around plastic pipe.

Wait until it had dried, then gently scrape off with stanley knife blade on edge. If it's discoloured, I have used turtle wax car colour dye stuff (white) and it worked fine. I would try in a small place first though, just in case!
