Do you mean the glass had streaks before you started? If so I think the lead is leaching. Personally I would just clean as usual and tell the customer that he's stuck with the marks.

I've had this issue on new leaded windows before. I just scrubbed them with a soapy applicator then wfp them afterwards. After a few cleans it does come off.

That's exactly what I have found, Rich.
