Apart from polishing metal, I was advised -- ages ago -- that "Brasso" was excellent for another use. I still have the afore-mentioned, but I have forgotten for what purpose this could be applied as a 'wonder liquid'.
Any ideas, please?
Thank you.

As a lover of vintage radios, I know that Brasso can be used to polish bakelite.

However I suspect that the alternative use you've heard of is to polish out scratches in CDs and DVDs.

Could one use Brasso for plastics window-frames?
Never tried it but I'd have thought so. Worth a try on a difficult to see section. Are there not better, purpose made, alternatives though ?
We used to use it to polish scratches from clear perspex covers, I can only suggest doing a trial on an inconspicuous corner.
Brasso is simply a mild abrasive, like Cif, chrome polish, plastic polish, jewellers' rouge etc. They have differing degrees of abrasiveness so using the "wrong" one may either be ineffective or cause scratching.

Thank you.
It was used on car paint scratches years ago, like T-Cut.
It will get scratches out of watch glass quite well. Takes a while tho.
Yeah my Dad used to use it to clean caravans we had p/x'd in- well that is actually he chucked a cloth at us all and said polish that caravan! :)
Makes a tasty beverage (mixed with orange juice) if you've run out of meths :-)
