lead staining...

[cheapncheerful]

hi , i am the work dodger and have always left the stains which can come on leaded windows...i think its the oil off the lead...but now doing a friends have decided to get something to shift it.....so anyone know what product will shift the stain...certainly not normal window spray or elbow grease.....thanks

Virosol has worked for me. You mean the bleeding out of the lead? I use diluted Virosol on an old micro, rub it in then clean as you normally do.

I cleaned the algae from a large hardwood p shaped conservatory glass roof recently and the top crest was covered in lead flashing which I found unusual including the normal wall lead flashing. Needless to say there was lead bleed stains on ever panel of glass. Howerver I did warn the owner that these stains would not come off by normal cleaning methods as would need the glass either replaced or hire a specialist glass restorer to come to do it and the customer was fine about it.
