After getting my oil changed today I noticed this on my back window.  I didn't use my wiper/washer on the rear so not sure what it is?  I've never noticed the washer fluid looking this either.  Also, they didn't wash it (as usual) so not sure what it is.  Anyone?????

It sure looks like some of that aftermarket washer fluid, maybe they used it? Is that overspray on the window or is that from the "incident"?

That is wierd. Obviously by the picture, the wiper was used after the stuff was on your window.  What is the first picture?  The inside?

I believe the first pic is of the bottom of the rear door running onto the top of the bumper?

All the spray is that greenish liquid....
I've emailed some photos to the service manager inquiring about it.

It almost looks like copper sulfate. I don't know how that would get on there at the dealership. Maybe some kid that flunked out of High School Chemistry thought he was throwing acid on your Hummer.

Mine did that the first time I used my factory washer fluid. Since adding aftermarket wiper fluid it doesn't do that any more. Noticed it on my bumper step one day and freaked out. No worries though. Came right of and hasn't happened again.

I had the same thing when I first used my rear window washer. After you run it the first couple of times that will stop.

Thanks for the help guys.  Yeah it comes off easily but was just kinda freaked out too when I saw it.  Just the principle of having it pulled around from service like that kinda was crapy in my opinion.  They must've used it while doing the service, maybe on their checklist or something.

It looks likes GM's Optikleen washer fluid. It comes in 1qt bottles when a dealership preps vehicle off the truck they add this to the washer bottle. It has that destinctive color to it.

Wasn't there a recall that had something to do with the rear washer/wiper? Maybe they fixed that while you were in and tested it? Either way you are right, they should have cleaned it before delivery.
