Title: Cleaning a lead porch!?
Post by: Taylor & Taylor WC Services on April 02, 2009, 01:59:27 pm

A customer of mine has a lead porch and has asked if I can clean it. It's not that weathered but has lots of visible watermarks? I'm assuming a chemical of some sort?

Any advise appreciated.

just trad it.

applicator over the lead glass, then remove as much as you can with a squeegee then just buff it dry, it doesn't take that long. I would use a scrim though, microfibers will soak up the water too quick and leave marks, scrims should be better.

My mistake. I haven't explained properly. She wants the the lead cleaning as below?

There's no windows involved.
