What would you recommend to use to get the black watermarks of the facsia.
Got a couple of cleans after Christmas to do with these marks.
I have already tried to wipe them but can't get rid of marks.
Is there a cleaner/cream anyone would recommend??

Cheers
Craig

I've read someware that neat gg4 works, could be expensive though for the amount you need to shift.

Try jiff (or ziff) then rub a little car polish (not wax) to put shine back..
Never tried it myself as I tell them they have left it to long before having it cleaned and will cost a fortune to try and remove (too much hazzel)

Yep, same here, way too much hassle. Once the very thin glossy veneer has gone - it's gone and you're down to the cheap base plastic. I'd recommend to Craig that he's careful he doesn't cop for any damage etc. If the marks don't come out with a mild soap and very soft cloth, I'd give it a miss.

Cheers for that guys.
The woman recons she got it off before with a pressure washer but that was about 8 years ago.
I'll tell her i'll try but as it has been on there for a while it probably has marked it perminent.

If you're using ladders try dipping a soft floor brush into a sodium hypochlorite solution, usually comes in 11% form, mix this 1:1 with water, but use gloves and apply sparingly.  Its just a concentrated form of the active ingredient in bleach so you have to be reasonably careful not to get it on your clothes and in your eyes.

I think you'll find anything with bleach in will gradually turn upvc yellow!  You have been warned.
Don't take my word for it though.

vehicle de-greasers like "driving force" from premiere products shoud get them off no probs if your on a ladder. its non abrasive and works very well, if your poling it, dont bust a gut,as everyone else said, just leave it.

For really hard marks I use solvent cleaner, there's not alot that won't get off plastic then use a cream pvc cleaner to put the shine back.
