new upvc frame ,

[GWCS]

A customer has used a green kitchen scourer to clean some marks from her wood effect upvc door, this has left a worse mark than before, is there any way to fix it?

what type of worse mark?

a scratch or just spread the original mark?

[ccmids]

whats the answer then i cant think of any but change the frame if its scratched,what ever you do there will be a change in the shade of the  upvc.

woodgrain upvc is just a plastic veneer, like a printed film. My advise is don't use anything like T-cut or you will run the risk of making it worse

My windows are woodgrain effect PVC. The actual woodgrain is a very thin film of plastic, a bit like the stuff you used to buy in Woolies, I think it was called fablon. You just peeled off the backing paper and stuck it on.
I damaged our back door sill when installing a washing machine, very surprised to see just how thin that stuff is. Rubbing won't help, it's as thin as paper.

It’s a foil veneer and once it’s penetrated it damaged for life replace the frame. What think might work but it would need great skill would to apply a coat of dark oak varnish but very thin and allow to dry between coat the brush must be nearly dry ( do not put a lot on at a Time and the finish must be a matt finish. You would need to blend it in.)

Just go over it with a brown marker, just dabbing it on gently let it dry and keep repeating it until you get a colour match. Ive done this on furniture and works ok so cant see a window frame being much harder.

no problem,could repair this for you-or show you how to do this so you could generate some more work,we use waxes(same as the furniture guys use)and have been well tested,usally you cannot tell where the repair has been done,we also remove dents/marks from white pvc-u aswell if anyone is intrested in this kind of thing i'll share the knowlege on this forum as a way of "giving back"for all the tips i'ved had to press,also how to restore white pvc back to looking new-cheaply-kevin
