I will try that. A friend said she thought it was something simple, but she couldn't remember what. We tried glass cleaner, baking soda, baking powder, nylon scrubber, but nothing worked. I will try the scraper. Thanks.

Nicely broken down. I use this simple method too.
As for the "The dirtier the glass is the longer it takes." it doesn't have to be that way... When I have very old and thick burns I usually remove with a window scraper (glass is harder so it causes no scratches and it goes off really fast).
