Got asked to clean a houses 'greying' UPVC frames?

Is this any good, and will a liter do for a 3 bed semi.

whats the procedure? Wash frames with WFP, dry, scrub this stuff on, rinse off?

Have tried a few of these UPVC cleaners and they have been rubbish, but at that price its worth a try.

I use lidl W1 cream cleaner and find it great for lifting the grey out of cills and frames.

Hi Dave, Don't forget to use your little waffle cloths as they will speed up the process. Cheers Tadgh

Not too long ago you said that only pure water was required for cleaning conny roofs and upvc to a high standard. Was pure water not so good after all?  ;D

He said grey UPVC.

I don't use pure water on roofs, i use tap water.

Ive also been trialing a product thats applied after cleaning, that repels water and dirt, and brings it back to an as new look.
Its a great up sell.
Ive been cleaning (restoring) UPVC as a separate business for years and am getting a 2nd dedicated van for this in the new year.

I give up. One photo shows the condition before and the other shows the condition of the joints on down pipes after, there is also slight marking on the union brackets of the gutter.

E bay a product called the "pink stuff" it will get rid of those marks with ease but you have to use a cloth to apply and rinse with water straight away.
