Back on topic:
You guys do know that you can get whole sheaths of newsletter, which is newspaper paper with absolutely no printing on it for about the same price as dirt (cheaper, actually) at just about any place that sells moving/packing materials, even Home Depot, right?
If you really have had it with film, and want to bring out the big guns, use ammonia. Ammonia will take just about any deposit off of glass, including window tint glue. I rarely have to resort to such extremes.
I clean my glass by running a fresh razor scraper gently across the glass, using Spraway or Stoner's as a lubricant, and wipe away the liquid and whatever deposits are caught in suspension. I have never put a single scratch on glass this way, and it takes anything and everything off. I use glass specific microfiber towels for the final cleaning.
Obviously, you would never want to use either process on a vehicle with film tinted windows.
