Cleaning Perspex windows
« on: November 18, 2021, 04:08:03 pm »
Hi
I have been asked by a potential customer to clean their windows on a converted church. The main atrium is glass but the other windows are perspex. He said that he had someone in who put a product on the perspex which brightened and made the perspex slightly clearer (he called it a moisturiser!). He said that it did improve the look and the clarity and wanted to know if we could provide a clean on a quarterly basis.
Has anyone had experience of such a product? If so is it easy to use?
Many thanks
Tim

Sounds dodgy to me, how would that even work?

I know right. I am going to take a look at it next week but apparently they were charged about £500 for this service! I looked at a few different perspex cleaners but they are for more for localised scratches

Cleaning Perspex with wfp will cause scratches and when the sun is low in the sky it looks awfully, we won’t clean any clear Perspex because of this

My guess is he was using vision or similar, then blagging that it was some kind of miracle product.
If you get the job, best to use a flocked brush on Perspex.

Some jobs you quote for, some jobs you don't. This is one of those jobs I would walk away from. The job will never look the same as that other cleaner did, so you will be chasing your tail.

Walk away.....you ll scratch the perspex even with a flocked brush...
price higher/work harder!
