any solvent based cleaner will do it; thinners, meths, brake cleaner, sat juice, petrol etc.

I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

Thinners, solvent based cleaner, turps

You'll be hard pushed to taint the glass with any sort of cleaner so just get a hold of the stronger stuff and it'll come off on a cloth

Scaping it off means it'll take 10x longer than if you just attacked it with something strong to start with
