Part of me says there's breakdown in the rubber seals, but it could be some residue coming off the frames or the metal above.
By rights you should need to get a close up, face to face look, failing that explain you have some concerns and wish to try a trial on one of the windows,(if using wfp). If you are trad then the job would be easy enough to get a good result.

Might need a bit of an extra scrub but yes.

If it on the outside the window will have a silvery look to it and any small water spots will appear brown on the surface. If its outside then the staining could be very difficult to remove
As said above try one pane before you sign a contract, It might turn out to wash right off and your quids in

Get a disclaimer signed first!  If the windows are tinted they'll probably have some 3M coating on them - if you damage it it'll cost a fortune ::)
