Let's check out these windows here. Proper old school lead. These are. You have to be uh pretty careful with them.

But all I do is literally get some moisture on there like that. Get this into kind of a loose pad and just give it a bit of a polish. Usually cover it in a couple of directions at least. Make sure I get into the corners. There we go. See this one? There we are.

Let's make sure the paint works clean as well. The edge there. Nice. And we've still got this side to do.
