Title: Fence Paint Problem
Post by: Mr Bungalow on March 22, 2010, 10:22:12 pm

Hello All,

Does anyone have any suggestions for removing fence paint off uPVC and glass?

I have tried everything from G101 and Truck Wash with no luck at all.

Any of your suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards. :)

Hello Again,

Using a blade will take ages as there is a lot of it covering half the conservatory and would you not have to be careful with the uPVC as there is also a lot on that as well?

Your replys appreciated.

Thanks. :-\

hi darren

Use graffiti remover that gets it all off - upvc and glass.  I get it from Aroma Products in Hinckley but Hammonds Hygiene at Blaby do something similar.  Give us a ring or pm if you want anymore info.

Tosh - i'm not surprised Scotchbrite is really good stuff, but the cheapo sponges don't really have much grunt in them.

it's pretty much the same as the bit on unger applicators

I would use a blade but it will take a while.
