My last house had the timber look-alike frames. The installer said to use WD40. Worked a treat to clean them and shine them up.

Car polish.
Use T-cut or Brasso to remove fine scratches, then polish up with a cleaner/polish like Mer, or Autoglym resin polish.

You can also use Super Glue 'Activator', which is what I use on Upvc trims etc.
If you go to your local Cladding supplier (Don't use Wickes, they will be twice the cost) they have specific Upvc Cleaner

Don't use anything abrasive Rob it will scratch the surface of the frames.
