Cheers save2600, been wondering about that... :)

Reckon I'll stick with UPVC cleaner than muck around with that toxic stuff (does the same job anyway and a quite harmless to your lungs... :) )

All you need to keep all your PCB or computer cases in pristine condition

...

...

The UPVC Cleaner & UPVC reviver will restore your computer case, monitor case, DVD Recorder, TV (CRT or LCD) (in fact anything plastic really or enamel coated, fridges, washing machines etc...) in excellent condition.

The PCB Cleaner or Brute Deodorant are excellent for restoring any PCB or components to look like new again...

(PS: The Brute Deodorant also makes you Amiga smell lovely, especially when it gets warm...)

Try them, they really do work... :)

Is UPVC cleaner abrasive? I'll maybe pop into B&Q and try some of that if it's not.


The UPVC Cleaner in the spray bottle is completely non abrasive, simply spray some onto a soft damp cloth or onto the surface to be cleaned wipe all over, then with another clean soft damp cloth give another quick wipe and you end up with a surface thats squeaky clean and has that feel and smell as if it was just bought and had just came out the packaging for the first time.

Works on almost anything around the home, computers, monitors (CRT & LCD), printers, DVD Recorders, fridges, washing machines, radiators etc...

The UPVC Reviver is VERY abrasive and requires a bit of practice first, but it will remove most scratches from any plastics or enamel painted surfaces (or oxidization/yellowing) and bring surfaces up like new. Same instructions as above but remember to practice on something else first... Once your used to using it you can even remove scratches from things like the clear plastic windows on DVD recorders etc... But make sure you practice first with this stuff or you could ruin it.

For best results when finished a quick buff up with a soft dry cloth and I think you'll be impressed with the results.

The De-Solv-It brand & the No Nonsense brand are the best, and available from Screw-Fix, you can buy them online or from your local Screw-Fix Depot where they are a lot cheaper than B&Q... :)
