i'm guessing its on the outside of the windows. what i'd try is: get the invisible glass cleaner, spray it on the window and use steel wool to scrub the window. then wipe of the remaining spray with a cloth.

I've heard a lot of people recommend stoner's and some newspaper. If that doesn't help maybe some rubbing/diluted alcohol.

Won't the steel wool scratch the glass all up?

You don't want your windshield to look like mine

Use Spray Nine's Stainless Steel and Glass cleaner, along with a microfiber cloth. It works wonders! MUCH better than any glass cleaner i've ever used (and i've used A LOT)

So how do you clean the inside of the windows if you have tint? Cuz your not supposed to use amonia or strong chemicals.
