Alright mate,leaded windows are very straightforward - just clean them as you normally would with a t bar and washer sleeve. I then dry them off with 1 microfibre cloth and then use a 2nd dry cloth to polish them off - done.
Only thing to watch out for are loose/sticking out bits of lead but they usually flatten down ok.

The t bar is ok if it's really dirty but the next clean wipe over with a damp micro fibre then wait till it's nearly dry then buff and polish dry with your scrim.

Just use a damp swab or cloth then scrim erm off, or use a micro fibre cloth to polish erm up.
Even better still invest in a wfp easier then m8👳

If they are really dirty and you are not using wfp, first deep clean them with a damp magic eraser pad this will remove any ingrained soils, then wipe with a damp microfiber to remove any loosened soils, finally polish with a dry microfiber cloth for a streak free finish.
