hi
i use mayonaise, leave it on for 10-15 minutes to soak in, and it just rubs off and disolves away
i have used this when after buying new items they have the sticky stickers on and leave marks or dont come off when you try to peel them off,
works a treat0 -
Many thanks for all the suggestions - will try all of them this weekend and report back!0

What ever you try make sure you test it somewhere where it will not be seen.
Some solvents will melt the uPVC.
I would worry about Using nail varnish remover myself.0 -
