dont touch the frame, if after a good wash it is still milky, I learnt that be default :-[

It is a rinsing first clean issue. As the white paint oxidizes it leaves a film on itself. When you come along and clean it, this will then run down the window below. This will not be a problem after a few cleans as you will remove the oxidization. The only way to cure it to start with is to go back and rinse the bottom half again once the top half has stopped rinsing down across the crossbar.

Next time you do it, do the whole window first and go back and be prepared to re-rinse the bottom half a second time.
