Orange windows

Ugh. Every job here lately is a headache. Why did the white around these windows turn dark orange?

Reminds me of this thread.

I’ve had similar happen on white vinyl siding before I heard on here to just wait and it will go away. I hit it with oxalic and it went away.

I’ve had that before windows. Just wait. It will probably go away.

Dont touch it.
It will be gone in the morning.

That dark orange color magically disappears and looks good? Okay… I’ll keep that in mind for next time. I frantically scrubbed it all down with Diamond Magic. It took a little elbow grease, but they came clean. I would love to know exactly why it’s doing that. It was definitely worst on the windows that look out over the porch. So they are protected from the sun and rain a little bit.

As soon as the sun goes it out goes away

Yes, it’s like Cinderella’s pumpkin carriage. At the strike of midnight POOF

Had vynal do that before almost had a had a heart attack. Knew what it was from a thread i read and finished the house. I mixed up oxalic to go spray it and went to the back of the house where i started. It was dry and no sign of orange. Didnt even spray oxalic. Reeled uo and drove off. Had a conversation with the customer explaining it. Collected the check and got a grest review a week later :+1:

I run into this 2 weeks ago . 1 rst time ; hit with F9 barc. dissapeared. accidentally splashed SH on frame; came back; repeated F9 ,left happy. customer called back today, said it came back a little on some of the windows. Whats up with these window frames. is it just poor quality. I’m going back to retreat. Any ideas.
Thanks

I believe in the 90’s they made some windows that the frames would react that way. I’ve ran into it several times. Once the sun hits it, they go back to white. At least that’s been my situation, should be no worries.

Same here. I just rinse them good, wipe with a clean microfiber towel and tell the homeowner to call me if they don’t go back to white. So far, they always have.

thanks for the feed back.
appreciate it.
