More rinsing ?

You need to work with cool glass. If the windows are in the sun, then you need to also cool the air gap between the glass. So rinsing more is the way forward. This is one of the hints given by wfp cleaners in Cyprus.
The other thing is that hot days have baked the dirt, especially bird muck, onto the glass, so the windows will be more difficult to clean anyway.

Its where the water dries before it has the chance to fully drip down! Plenty of scrubbing and extra rinsing with direct sunlight.

Use hot water

I think it is the powder coating on the frames that breaks down in the heat that leaves milky deposits on the glass. So plenty of scrubbing and rinsing.

use a mega high flow all year round and you wont get any problems in both summer and winter.always a good finish.

go trad! ;D

all of these guys are right, i will try to explain a way so you have perfect results.
in very hot weather, pre sprey the glass first, this will lower the temp and enable you to clean and rinse without the water drying too quickly.
if you think its powdery milky stuff from the top frame this is how i do a first clean on these, setting you up for the futer cleans)
1. scrub that top frame, really hard and fast, get that oxidisation gone, from left to right
2. scrub the side frames and the window cill, give the windowsil a nice scrub becasue you cant see the green on upper windows.
3. scrub the top frame again and rinse and clean just the top four inches of the glass
4.scub the rest of the glass dont bother rinsing, let the water soak in an do the work for you
5. leave this window and do this process with a few more windows.
6. go back to the first window and clean only the glass as normal, however imagine the top of the window is the top four inches that you have already cleaned and rinsed. (miss the top four inches)
7 . turn your flow off and wipe the sill
8. when you come back next time, clean window as normal
