I defended the guy someone local I know left the Forum he messaged me saying Green was opinionated I replied saying 'you talk as if being opinionated is a disease'?but you can't tell people they are wrong that's their opinion respect the other person.

Yep.. any spud will do. However a scraper will not.

Just one of those things the scraper wont shift lead staining but Unger Rub Out Cream does.

Not the cheapest option at £15-£20 per bottle but usually the best option.

Won't look too professional turning up with a Spud does this Unger rub out get rust off pvc Sills I've just ordered 3 Univalves off WCW on line I might phone them at 9 an order a bottle of this. Is there a method using this for example do you apply and leave it for a bit or do you just rub it with a cloth till the stains come off?

It would be interesting to hear how you manage.

We only had one issue of lead staining on a wooden conservatory roof. The conservatory roof is glass and butted up against the house wall. It also overlooks the North Sea. The staining from the lead drip tray at the top on the glass was so bad that build-up was like a layer of lead.

We did our best but the owner wasn't impressed.

Rightly or wrongly, I resolved from then on that I wouldn't get involved with anything like it again.

I'd be interested in finding out if that works IronGiant.

We use it on our kitchen worktops, never thought to use it on the windows....

White pvc sills that have gone grey come up really well.

Bar keepers friend is good stuff and does well. Only downside is it is a powder and you gotta get a good consistency first if you know what I mean. Have a couple of bottles in the van myself.

My goto is always RubOut as open bottle pour and scrub. Job done.
