How do you get sticky marks off a windscreen?

Once upon a time my car must have been for sale with lots of stickers on the inside windscreen and it seems impossible to remove the remaining sticker marks. I have tried simple household products but does anybody know what the car trade might use?

Answers:
Duraglit, which is actually brass polish, is used throughout the trade to remove sticker prices from delicate china, glass and everyday objects. I do not see why is should not work on a windscreen. I fear razor blades will scratch the glass, and I am afraid water only works on glues that were water based in the first place. If they were chemical glues, you could also try nail varnish remover (acetone) which is recommended on methylene based glues, or Methylene chloride, but don't spill it on a plastic dashboard or paintwork as it will leave marks.
try stick stuf remover, if not white vinegar should work,
I little bit of gasoline takes sticker marks right off.
easy and this works..my kid put loads of stickers on the car window and i got them off with.white vinegar and water solution.the worse the marks are the more vinegar you mix with the water..really works.
You could try scraping off the glue very carefully using a plain razor blade or using some ladies tights (not ones that are being worn at the time) stuffed with a rag and lots of elbow grease. The rough texture of the tights is abrasive and should remove the glue.
I find that white spirit moves sticky poster residue very well.

There is a product called disolv-it which is very effective at removing adhesive residue and smells a lot better than gasoline!
A damp cloth works every time (water NOTHING else)
jacg is right. The easiest thing to do is to scrape it off with a razor blade.

WD 40 is fabulous on this and not harsh either. If you want to get it right off then you can use some lacquer thinner or acetone, but both are very strong and should not be spilled on any interior plastic.

Panel Wipe is the best thing for it. You can use Thinners but don't get it anywhere else (e.g. paintwork, upholstery etc.).
Ok i used to work for a advertisement company doing stickers.
A work friend told me to use BENZINE.
Its very flammable so don't go smoking around it, and it evaporates very quickly so you can get a piece of plastic, wet the patch you want and place the plastic on top to avoid drying to to remove bit by bit.
Cutting compound (but not too often).
