Ronseal - Thompson's uPVC Liquid Restorer 480ml

Brought this to get some stains off my UPVC windows and it does nothing, complete waste of money.

superbe produit le résultat est impressionnant pic bouillant comme neuf

Il migliore finora provato per finestre in PVC . Non ho dato 5 stelle perchè la pulizia non è completa ma forse la colpa è la qualità del PVC dei serramenti.

My PVC windows are over 15 years and the sills were grey, I had sharpie, wood stain, fence paint and gloss paint marks to remove as well as the usual scuff marks and this product managed them all. I'd tried various cream cleaners, magic erasers and acetone cleaners in an effort to turn my sills back to white, but to no avail. This product is a bit of work to use, but it isn't difficult, or require force. It's best to do on a fine day, and only do small sections at a time. It's suggested to put it on with a damp cloth, I found that if the cloth was too dry, then the product didn't work anywhere near as well. Properly wet, but not dripping worked best for me, but I was doing this on a baking hot day. An old toothbrush is brilliant for getting into all the tight spots and window seams, and was particularly useful for the tougher marks and stains. You wipe most for the debris and dirt away before you start, apply the product ( similar to a slightly thicker cream cleaner) with a wet cloth, wait for it to dry slightly, then 'buff' it off with another cloth, pretty similar to polishing a car. I found if you do about 2-3 foot sized window frame at a time, that was about right, if you wait until the product dries 100%, it is harder to buff off, just wait for it to be touch dry, then buffing is so easy. A few strokes of the initial product was enough to turn my grey sills to white before my eyes. Harder marks, such as wood staining / sharpie etc took more strokes and a little more product. I found that using more force didn't make any difference, just more passes made the difference, the old toothbrush here made a world of difference, my hardest stain ( sharpie) did take about 2 minutes of toothbrush brushing, but perseverence paid off. It didn't look like it was going to come off completely at first, it started black and then faded, but eventually it suddenly went from a medium grey line to completely gone very quickly, and there was no sign of it on my bright white door. For the wood stain and fence stain, the same was true, but they came off a bit faster. Any product spilt on the glass came of easily after drying with just a wipe with a dry cloth as the product dries to a powder. I did find that if the product dried too much to a point it was harder to buff, it came off as more of a powder and created some mess. Any wet product spilt on paving was harder to remove. In all I would highly recommend this product, it's not a quick 1 wipe and it's done job, but it did a fantastic job and was really easy to use. In addition it removed a variety of stains and marks that I didn't think I'd ever get rid of totally, it seem to be long lasting too, I certainly don't think I'll need to repeat the process again for at least a year, probably more.

Its honestly not that good, don't expect it to completely whiten up a sunburnt piece of PVC. It does work somewhat but don't expect it to turn a sunburnt piece of PVC into looking new.
