MastoDIYers, best suggestion for a solvent that'll get this stuff off a UPVC window frame without damaging the window frame?

Eucalyptus oil is hands down the best thing for removing any kind of dried on sticky or adhesive residue, without harming the substrate (the thing it was stuck to). If you're not in Australia, you can usually find it at your local chemist (pharmacy, drug store, whatever). Isopropyl alcohol isn't nearly as efficient at dissolving the gunk and will usually require lots of scraping, with a greatly increased chance of damaging the substrate.
