Default I like to use 60 grit sand paper and acetone.
God forbid, I say vinegar and a light duty steel wool.

Default Also, Griot's has a product for exactly this purpose.
I've never used this particular product, but the rest of the Griot's stuff is pretty good, so I'd imagine this works as advertised.<ul><li><a href="http://www.griotsgarage.com/catalog.jsp?SKUupsell=11177">Griot's Glass Polish</a></li></ul>

Default Rain-X window polish is my favorite
That thing takes EVERYTHING off, I am always most amazed. Just be careful, it's white goo, and needs to be flushed off with a lot of water, both from car as well as clothes.
