Scratched uPVC window cill

Hi

Just had new double glazing installed. Plasterer has been in and finished off the room and constructed reveals.

I've noticed today that the cill is quite scratched - I don't know who did it, so can't go around blaming.

Any suggestion about any way to remove the scratches? I've read Tcut can be quite good?

    A trick used in the trade to remove dents is to heat it gently, as it has "memory" it will return to it's orginal shape, I don't know how successful this would be with scratches though and be very very carefull not to cause more damage.
    Four guns yet only one trigger prepare for a volley.

    the biggest problem with scratches in upvc is the ingrained dirt that gets in (otherwise its not really noticable)

    found JML eraser very good at gettingthis dirt out
