UPVC Restoration Like A Professional

[@julieibbotson6193]

Great job, I am going to B&Q tomorrow for something and I noticed they sell this so will definitely pick some up, thanks for the review. Need to get a brush to get in the crevice where the window bottom meets the ledge, it always drives me potty because I can’t get all the crud out 😂

[@redman9pablo]

I come across that Thompson uvpc window cream yesterday in b&q, done my pattio uvpc today they are gleaming white it's pretty good stuff

[@aemackintosh]

adam c Excellent! I’m glad it worked out well.😃👍🏼

[@clevergamer6704]

they're expensive!

[@lukemitchell6654]

Hey Ashely I am a newbie going 6 weeks now and am a great fan of your video's they are helping me out alot so thanks for that, could you do a video on how to gain customers through social media

[@aemackintosh]

Thanks. I’m glad you find the videos useful. I’ve done a marketing course with loads of information about using social media: www.aemackintosh-onlinetraining.com/courses/marketing-techniques

[@lukemitchell6654]

I'll check it out thanks 👍

[@tonycarrington4426]

good vid & good job Ash.... although i prefer to use those foam backed scourers, i use the white non scratch ones over the green ones, on some frames that have indentations i`ll use old toothbrushes as well. for cream i use Bond-it Upvc restorer, great stuff. keep up the good work matey. indecently what camera do you use to video? tony

[@aemackintosh]

Tony Carrington Good idea. You have to be so careful not to damage the surface.😃👍🏼

[@derekgibson1080]

Hello Ashley, would Unger rubout do the job? Keep up the great videos 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@aemackintosh]

Thanks! Yes, Unger rub out is very similar to this.👍🏼

[@bearpitrock]

Dude. Thanks! This is ace

[@aemackintosh]

Great, thanks!😃👍🏼

[@julianjones4181]

I've been using a light hypo solution... does a good job.... great vid dude

[@aemackintosh]

julian jones Should be careful with that stuff, I think it could cause discolouration on the upvc if it’s too strong and left on there too long.😃👍🏼

[@michaelhaywood4595]

Never use any kind of chemical TFR, hypo etc. It will strip the UPVC, leaving it open to the UV rays which in turn discolour it, Worse example I heard of was within 5 days, all the UPVC on a 2 houses turned yellow, both next door to each other. I was asked to give my "Opinion" on what had happened as the women were taking the cleaner to court!

[@aemackintosh]

Good point. Thanks for the comment.😃👍🏼

[@fredfoz6730]

Great video as always, could you use steam from a hot water pressure washer?, love the videos and keep them coming please.

[@aemackintosh]

Thanks! 😃👍🏼I haven’t got a hot water steam pressure washer so I’ve never tried it that way.

[@BB-br4qh]

👍another great video

[@aemackintosh]

Thanks 😃👍🏼

[@giles920]

Hey - Do you clean the PVC before the windows? If after, do you wait for water run off to dry? - cheers

[@aemackintosh]

Yes, frames first then the glass.👍🏼

[@donhanlon7121]

Hi Ashely, great video was wondering if T Cut does the same thing?

[@aemackintosh]

Never tried it.

[@bitTorrenter]

Might be a bit more abrasive since it was designed for bodywork.

[@edpotter3833]

Another great vid, can I ask where do you purchase your yellow microfibres/towelling cloths from? Ed

[@electricsilver]

Halfords and Car Parts Wholesalers. I get mine from Poundstretcher, Home Bargains, B&M etc., They're cheap - pack of 6 for about a £.

[@briggsybabe]

Do you charge extra for this service and how much for them ? Great vids mate really enjoy watching a pro at work.

[@aemackintosh]

Thanks. Yeah, I charge between £5 - £15 for each window depending on weather it is 1, 2, or 3 panes.

[@briggsybabe]

@@aemackintosh Thanks for the reply mate, just starting out and need all the help i can get. My current employer has screwed its workforce and i decided to start up window cleaning so i dont have to rely on anyone else, i want to take a professional approach and yours is a great example.

[@aemackintosh]

Thanks. All the best with your plans. I hope my videos help.😃👍🏼

[@OhHiThereItsBen]

Does this work with sun bleaching?

[@lillylake]

Aww help, my restorer is clear liquid is that right? I’m doing my frames inside . Would it be better with the yellow/white form?

[@rainz62]

This video is a little old so hopefully I can still get a response. I live in the US and these types of product don't appear to be available at the stores but it looks like I can order it on line. I have vinyl windows, not sure if this is the same as upvc, do you know if this can be used on vinyl windows?

[@aemackintosh]

Not entirely sure. Don’t think I’ve come across many vinyl windows here in the UK. You might want to try a product called Unger Rub Out. It is quite similar to this and I think it’s more easily available in the U.S.😃👍🏼

[@rainz62]

@@aemackintosh Thank you for the response! My windows, especially the caulk, it turned a grayish color, need help. I'll take a look to see if I can find the Unger rub out. 👍👍

[@ryanlaffan7064]

Could you just use cream Cif?

[@aemackintosh]

You could.👍🏼

[@lescooper5224]

Thank you

[@aemackintosh]

😎👍🏼

[@brendanknox6671]

would you charge much for this service? Would you do a full house ?

[@aemackintosh]

Sure, I would quote according to the property, how many windows there were and how dirty they are.😃👍🏼

[@majidhussain3844]

Does it work?

[@aemackintosh]

Yes

[@MrRawMonkey]

I got better results using neat Cif and a damp non scratch sponge scourer

[@aemackintosh]

😃👍🏼

[@wollefderfensterputzer]

😎👍

[@ciaranlyons]

hi

[@ciaranlyons]

hi

[@49684]

👊

[@HantsLeo]

The Thomson stuff used to be much better, not that great nowadays though

[@aemackintosh]

I haven’t actually tried it recently. But I know that sometimes there are restrictions on the strength of products they are allowed to sell in diy stores compared to stronger ones that can be sold to the trade.😃👍🏼

[@HantsLeo]

@@aemackintosh good point also I wonder if the regs have forced a change in the formula? Like paints going water based. Stay safe mate.

[@aemackintosh]

Quite possibly. Thanks for your comments.😃👍🏼

[@xtroncool007]

That windows the wrong way around The beadings on the outside so window can be popped out with a screw driver!!

[@jakirhussain4727]

use a cheap t cut, thank me later

[@mattmlcleaning4733]

I use the pink stuff 5times cheaper than that stuff 😂

[@aemackintosh]

Whatever works. I just found this in my van.

[@Noor-kp1yb]

Pink stuff spray or the putty ?
