Hi all,
Had a house to do today with a big conservatory on the back... and every other pane had a decorative rose (or something) in leading right in the middle of the pane. Is a right pain to do, does anyone know a really good way to do them? At the moment I squeegee over then polish the leading with a scrim... which is kinda messy and messes up my squeegee rubbers :-\ But I don't wanna use a knackered rubber, cuz 90% of the glass is plain!
Am gonna try and post a picture now to show you what I mean... Heres what i mean...

Hi sheepmeister,i have a lot of these on my smaller top widows,i personally would sgueegy around them the best you can,then polish them up with a dry scrim,it takes a bit of elbow grease,but they dont take to long to come up nice. ;D
hope this helps

They're a pain arent they?! Whats wrong with having normal glass? :P
Thanks Steve, will give that a try next month. Might take me a while to get the hang of it though! Its always a job I dread, although I priced it quite high so I don't mind as much lol. It'd be a dream with WFP! :-\

Squeegee around the rose then buff up the rose area with a microfibre cloth. Will look as good as new after.

I've been meaning to ask for a while actually, but don't microfibres get wet too quickly to be used for detailing + buffing?

i would take a heavy duty scraper and get rid of all that horid lead cheeky bloody customers watch out they will want you to wipe the sills next
-
Hmmm... they may notice... ;)
-
joking aside i would squeegee around them and in time you will find it easier

I spray with liquid/squeege off, wipe with microfibre, then buff with scrim.

Wash the window as normal and then buff the leaded decor with either scrim or microfibre.
I find in these damp conditions that microfibre gets wet to quick so use scrim but microfibre i think is better just need more of them.
