I agree, use Bon Ami. I have very good results with Bon Ami Foaming Spray,
it will clean anything off glass, where Windex did nothing. Or try the
original cake or powdered Bon Ami, with water you scrub it onto the glass
and let it dry. Then with a soft cloth, you wipe off the white power film.
It will even take off paint overspray, I should know, we used it in an
autobody paint shop.

Bon Ami is very difficult to find in most markets, I guess they don't offer
the local stores enough kick-back to make it worthwhile to stock. You mostly
find at least one version in small chains, where they try to have products
that the big chains won't carry.

Inside or outside? Maybe you should try washing them more often :-)

I suggest the original YELLOW label BonAmi. It will not harm the
glass
and leaves no film when done. Note: it is not easy to find the YELLOW
label, most are GOLD label. Hunt around, try the hardware stores,
especially the old time type. The Gold label has a harder abrasive and
can
scratch the glass in time as does almost all other cleansers.
