Dont want to spoil things, but from experience, doesn't jiff make the plastic dull and remove the shine??
Would be interested in how it looks?

I used Cif when it was called Jif and I have to say you would have not noticed any scratching or dullness when the job was finished. It was top rate.
I do however now use a Thompsons UPVC cleaner from Focus £4.99.
Little grey plastic bottle.

i did a house a couple of months ago and put 3 products to the test Tfr,upvc cleaner , and solvent cleaner. the results were that the tfr and upvc cleaner were about the same but the solvent came out on top by a long way. i used to use jiff and then finish with a good car wax but the solvent does the job even if it does stink

Hi Neil
I used to fit PVCu window the solent cleaner a good for cleaning off silcone and scuff marks and even some paint drips but be careful some re very strong and will alter4 the surface finish and in some case will take ordiary grim right into the surface the cream type cleaners are very like ciff but usually contain an antistatic to stop dirt jumping back onto the frame The polished finish can be restored with a "mop head" soft cloth on a circular bass spun in a drill useually an air tool in the factory but will badly mark if you do not know how to use it.
however if it is very dirty a scourer can be used followed by a soft scourer (white ) with strokes in the same direction up or down the mullions and across on the transums and cills
ciff with bleach works well and will polishup surface rinse well or will be a proble next time you clean the windows

Soapy water and a power washer, tell punter that old grime and bad marking involves a valet and as such will be very expensive they always go for the cheap and chearfull option soap and water.

Bucket of water with Flash in it (supplied by customer of course...
).
One cloth or brush to wash it, one to wipe clean and dry.
Ideally hot water, you need it to shift some grime.
