Mate, in my experience of 25yrs in double glazing never put any chemical near woodgrain or rosewood / brown upvc water soapy and Polish are ok. The sheen on the pvc fades and looks like poop when a solvent is used on it, the grain effect on brown pvc and cherry pvc is a thin veneer coating and can sometimes lift from the frame too, my advice is run away ;D
