Title: Upvc wax finish
Post by: Hardcastle on September 07, 2010, 05:28:50 pm
Hello everyone I desperately need to know what product upvc cleaning companies use to give that polished finish, I heard it was a type of wax coating to repell water, I already know about the cream cleaners, any help would be great!

I was asked to polish some upvc and was given some turtle wax spray by a customer. She told me that was what she was told to use by her window installers.

I usually use elbow grease, but if I was asked to polish it I would use turtle wax or similar.

Is that what makes the glass hydrophobic and makes us wfp'ers use loads more water?

It's making the frames as shiny as possible that I'm trying to achieve without marking the glass!

Spray it on the cloth and just wipe onto the frames and then buff. No need to spray it onto the frame.  ;)
