Methylatedspirits is the best

I also had a new car 2yrs ago that was imported from Japan and what I did got rid of it all including on my husband's car that was also imported 6 months ago from Japan

I use Glass Science, glass scrub, available at Supercheap. Works.

God, Some silly people here - Jif and Brasso are ABRASIVE cleaners. Do NOT use!Taxi drivers use methylated spirits diluted with about ten percent water and a SOFT cloth. (Chamois is best, or an old t-shirt)

I was doubtfull of some of these suggestions as well. Then one day during lunch I got the polisher out (for polishing new paint etc) and tossed some cutting cream on the screen and went for it. The screen was due for replacement anyway due to a crack.
well I can tell you it worked quite well, for about two weeks then the film builds up again. Glass is quite hard to damage, unless you use sand I guess.
I also find quality blades help as well.

Cut a spud into slices and wipe over the window.won't scratch.
If you go the brasso way use silvo (sp) not as abrasive
Kero will leave an oil like film.
White spirits/lighter fluid leaves no film.
Used to use tobacco from a cigarette to clean windows but stopped because I gave up smoking.
Claim a new window from the insurance company.
