The water sheeting or beading on the glass isn’t the reason for any spotting at all.
Repy 4 ,  What is ????

There are only there things that can cause you to see spots on a window.
1) it hasn't been rinsed properley.
2) dirt has run onto the glass in water after you have gone.
3) airborne dirt has landed on your water droplets left on the glass.

I don't think there are any other variables are there?

All we are doing is loosening dirt with a brush and relying on the flow to wash the particles away - big panes of beading glass need a lot of water for the drops to flow non stop five feet to the bottom. Spotting is simply impure water drying on the glass. Biggest offender being the top of the frame - you can't even see if it's clean followed closely by the seals and beading joins.

Spot on. ;)

Trouble is, it will be argued over all week! ::)

Yes,  :'( lots of them, wanna come and have a go ?
I like Mikecams 3 variable answers to the original question. Maybe the guys that say they never have spots aint seen them yet. have a look next time you go round- just before you re clean the glass at the top 2" of the windows.

Jeff have you ever watched a window dry? boring i know!

What i have noticed is that a window that beads, that the top of the window is the last to dry out not always but most of the time, this as you say is were most of the spots appear,

Have you noticed anything as to how a window drys?

yes that could be true that I have not seen them but I had windows with spotting when I did them trad and the reason was always leaks from gutters or badly designed con roofs or from vents and it was always the top 2" of the glass :-\

anyway I won't lose any sleep on it as if it was a problem I am sure I would be getting complaints and I don't so why worry.

but I am still interested in the subject so I will read with interest
