I have at home, the following

Type 10 Solvent Cleaner
Type 20 Solvent Cleaner
Cream Cleaner

On this job i used neither of the above..

I found that;
a bucket of soapy water
a few clean "rags"
a bit of elbow grease
"scrims" (to "buff" it up)

did the job just perfect :lol:

thanks

I must admit that I have some UPVC cleaning solvent, but soapy water often works better.

I find with the solvent cleaner (on window frames) you have to be careful around the seal's, as you can quite easily 'die' the white frames, a black colour from the window seals.

Although the solvent is spot on for removing paint, permanent marker, and other really stubborn stains
