  • These also get nail varnish streaks off of high gloss cupboards and drawers. Aldi also do a cheaper version just as good.:j
  • Fast paint thinner is the magic answer. Makes cleaning easy. I am just in the middle of cleaning off some black marks from the black rubber beading seals (they decompose over time and the surface leaves black marks when wiped over) on my upvc windows. I will try and video it to show the before and after if you like. Jon
  • I just finished cleaning my frames with that 'fast thinner'. Pretty easy and removes any stains. Google "comeinhandynow clean upvc" and you'll find the video showing the before and after results etc. Hope that helps someone.
  • I suggest using the product below as its acetone free which also saves you from that horrid smell.
