I hate doin leadeds as I find them time consuming, and just wondered what methods you guys use, excluding poling them.
I wash with applicator then squeegie the excess water off {probably detrimental to the rubber- not sure} then dry with wetish scrim, used on about 6 other jobs, and then polish off with a micro fibre.
The results are always good, but is this a long winded mwethod or what are the alternatives?

[windowwashers]

wet scrim, dry scrim

or spay bottle and microfiber are 2 ways I used to do them

[Slash]

I just soap them a little and buff with a microfibre cloth

[chris@c.m.s]

Wet scrim properly wrung out spay bottle to keep it slightly moist then dry grade A scrim for buffing off.

Proper 'traditional' method:

RAGGING 

Very slightly damp scrim and ELBOW GREASE :

Just one cloth, rub like b*****y in vertical and horizontal strokes.  If you rub hard enough the result will be perfect.

Soft car wash brush in bucket of water with GG3, brush thoroughly over the surface. Allow to rinse off slightly, damp scrim off then polish with a microfibre cloth.

Might take the squeegee bit out of the process then to save a bit of time. But I think I will stick to finally polishing off with a micro as the scrims seem to leave slight dust like material particles on the glass.

2 ways, wet scrim then dry scrim

but the quickest way to do it by hand is to draw a line of soap with the applicator and rub it all in with a dry it comes up perfecto, used it like that for years !

pass it on to your competers wilst ther doing the leads youv dune two or go water fed pole

Tomy, not sure what your on about mate.
I am mainly WFP, but some peeps dont like wet lower floor windows and insist on dry offs. No probs as I factor  this  into the bill for the extra time taken.

To be honest I like tradding ground floors, rather than poling anyway, as I think its good to keep your basic skills sharp.

microfibre and spray bottle are good.

Some times when you cloth is ever so slightly damp you can rub over once and get away with not drying but once they are wet you need a wet cloth and a dry cloth!!

But they are harder than normal and just need you to work harder!! I have a round with loads of big leaded houses, and over the years i have halved the time i take on them just by technique and getting speed up!! But still dread them as i come round the corner and see em
