Hi can anyone suggest a good way to remove white panit off a upvc window frame without marking or damaging the frame??? A friend of mine told me not to use any paint stripper or turps based product as this will turn thr frame yellow? is this true? please help

see our paint stripping project, the stripper in there will not harm the surface of the frame

your friend is correct more likely to go pinkish tho rather than yellow, you can get specialist upvc cleaning fluid which will do the job but make sure area is well ventillated, if theres a local upvc window company near you ask them if they sell it otherwise ebay have listings it's not to expensive but does the job brings them up like new with a bit of elbow grease.do not use a green scourer tho, may seem easier but you'll end up with greenish window frames.
