Hi, can anyone recommend a cleaning product that will remove the remnants of some foam sticker things my kids stuck to our front door? Would WD40 work? What can I use that won't damage/scratch/discolour the plastic?

I've searched the forums for advice, but most threads on cleaning UPVC seem to be more about removing dirt/stains.....

    got a feeling something like nail polish remover would work well

    nail polish remover, white spirit, isopropyl alcohol, lighter fluid, wd40 etc etc etc basically any solvent.

    I can vouch for isopropyl, nail polish remover and lighter fluid as I have personally used those for cleaning upvc doors/windows

    Olive oil is often surprisingly effective, and also won't leave any damage.

    Mayonnaise! Along the lines of olive oil I guess, but it works like magic - you leave it to soak in for 10 mins and it virtually wipes off. Magic :)
