 Living in an industrialised area I am getting more and more requests from customers for frame(upvc) and conservatory(polly'ate) cleaning/restoration. Tried all sorts of products but none seem to be 100% (95 would be nice).Dont like using abrasives or non-bio chemicals.
Any Ideas?

Try using GG4 and some warm water wipe with microfibre cloth then wipe over with scrim

There are all sorts of favourites if you check through earlier posts - ranging from traffic film remover (which I haven't used) cif, own brand non abrasives eg eurocell b and q
There's also the spirit based stuff which I find is only good for marks on new windows ( I used it when I used to fit them) -

Then there's the waterfed pole and pressure washer
Wouldn't mind trying pressure washer at some point but having used the pole and several cleaners I cannot see how anything will get them back to original - abrasives pads/cleaners just invite more dirt next time as it sounds like you already know.

Honestly think it is abut educating the customer - I always tell them that upvc is like tupperware - you cant rough scrub it or you ruin it and unless it has been kept clean from the off, you won't get it perfect - so far they all accept this

YES Welcome to this great forum, I have been a member for many years and the chaps here are great and very helpful.

We done a job on friday and used TFR but be careful to much and the frames can go yellow, pure water does make UPVC come up well all most to a new finish.

the reason pvc goes yellow is the sun bleaching the chalk added to the plastic mix so Ive been led to believe. the cheaper the unit the more chalk has been added.
