Same as Dean, the frames do stop after a while, I had a bad one yesterday, just fetched the woman out and showed her the problem and told her they will end up ok, did them twice and seemed allright.
As for rinsing the beading type glass, I just give it a good wash side to side

It makes no difference doing the frames on Ali,the ones with slight beading round the edge come up better than the square edged framed ones.

some ali frames will always always milk how ever much you clean them, I would not clean the top frame stops the bleeding.

and before you say it NWH I have cleaned windows for years so thats old now  :P

thanks you guys but it was a bit hard to avoid the frames as rther was a long window at the top then a cross member under the cross member was a big pain of glass at the side of the pain of class there wa s a smaller window with a transon on the top so there was quite a few cross members any way job is a sub contract so not pertically bothered i thought i would ask incase i get my own work that did this also the beading windows they seam to bead at the top  then at the middle they seamed to sheat with beading at the sides these were the think it is called smoked glass to stop the glare of the sun (please tell me the correct name if i am rong)so how would you guys rinse these type of windows there at 6  am tommorow but should be finnished for 11 and there is two other guys there who work for this perticular company both with wfp so you can imagine how big it is thank god its finnished tommorow for 6 month but the next time its in and out oh my god ???

Surley if you clean frames ali or otherwise there dry by the time you come to blade them arn`t they,you don`t wipe them with a sopping wet cloth and leave them do you.

no I didnt leave wet, you must have had it if you cleaned trad a white power when detailing or it could just be me which I doubt, I have this on 3 houses tried them all wfp all total nightmare, had to trad them after, so know they are get trad only as the jobs are good
