I'd ditch it, trad or wfp these windows are a nightmare because the paint flakes
get in the brush and are a pain to get out. Trad is also a pain as when you are
blading the flakes wedge under your rubber so you are continually cleaning
your blade.
My advise ' DITCH IT'

Yup. Press hard enough and they'll fall out.
They'll have to get new ones then.( you might not be their w/c any more though

Yeah do them, you slowly wash away the flakey bits of paint forcing them to repaint. That's what I think anyway. You cant make them any worse and they dry just as well as freshly painted ones.

It's ok until they blame you for taking all the paint of their frames
Got a couple on my round like this, they both milked on the first visit but have been fine since. I just try not to dislodge too much of the flakes. Customers are just happy to have them cleaned.
