Small leak, could it be air coming through, (looks like suds) from reel or pump?

I think that maybe it's due to what the windows were cleaned with previously.

Earlier this year a customer asked me to do their windows because the trad window cleaner they had left smears. I sort of know the bloke and he swears by good old fairy.

The first time I did the job the glass was covered in bubbles. It took a good 3 or 4 cleans for the bubbles to not appear.
