were the frames dirty?
If so maybe you were getting the top of the frames wet and the dirty water was running down the glass once you left

it does happen on the first cleans - mainly due to the fact you are drawing the extra dirt from the top of the frames and then its drying spotty.

but it will sort itself out on the second or third clean.

when you was trad was the blade sticking to the glass alot ? I would try white spirt on the glass as this could solve the issue. test area first though.

If you have been doing these trad chances are there is soap in the seals. Re-clean them till they are right.

It's a pain the first time but it IS worth the extra effort this time round.

The water will either bead (kind of form droplets) or sheet down the glass.

Generally it is easier to clean if it sheets but it makes very little difference.

No one has given me a definitive reason why it happens, anyway it will become less important once you've got the windows scrubbed up properly.

the easiest way to solve this is to just squeegee it off , after a couple of cleans it will be fine just leaving it wet regards alan

because you are just holding the problem till you get fed up with blading windows  ::) and when you stop the same problem will be there, use a tool correctly, do you go up and blade the top windows on a ladder ?
