With all the talk about upvc cleaning etc.Do a google search
On upvc restorers and there`s loads of web sites offering what
They claim is a special restoration process invented or made
By them,exclusive to them etc. etc.
Does anyone know just what these special cleaners or chemicals
Are at all?
There`s some pretty impressive looking web sites.


Thanks for replies.

hi lewis,most of these people use a solvent cleaner to "restore" the pvc-u this being available from from the local erou cell/pvc stockist its basicly a solvent that will remove stains/dirt from pvc.its ok but the thing which does work (and set me off in this buissiness)is the cream cleaner with bleach added(morrisons sell it)this does work-hope this helps-kevin

the cream is great, works really well. just use plenty of elbow grease  its been out 4 years.

i find a well worn pan scrubber-the foam type works well for me to apply this-hope this helps

I have started to use upvc cleaners from Euro cell and there great brings frames and sills up very good and the products don't cost a lot and last quite a bit

Stelmax is good stuff as well.

ive just read through a localish company to me that claims to seal the upvc after cleaning. does any experts out there know how and what is used

[kevinc]

steve, what a guy! you can use stelmax!!! theres not many who can how do you find it now its getting warmer

[kevinc]

with reference to sealing the pvc afterwards,this is just car wax applied to the frames-sounds good but car wax works the best and keeps them cleaner for longer

have used astonish upvc cleaner and was ok

[SteveAllan]

kevinc, its ok mate, good stuff, pongs a bit but i'm used to it now

ciff cream cleaner works just as good as any of the branded upvc cleaners,and cheaper to.
bleach can cause upvc to go yellow, solvent cleaner removes stains, but dulls finish,
used to fit quite a lot of facsia and tried all the upvc cleaners,not worked any better than plain ciff.

mehr car polish is good for polishing up upvc as well.
