I've searched for a bit and I can't find the name of the stuff - but Wal-Mart has some glass cleaner back in the automotive section that is supposed to be pretty heavy duty. It is in a black can with yellow writing. If you work in industry, and you have a Wurth supplier, get some of their glass cleaner - you will never find anything that comes close to it.
But find you a high quality spray on foam type cleaner (like the two I mentioned above - or anything from 3M if you can find it) and then use some terry cloth towels and press pretty hard on the glass and use circular motions, like waxing. Or if you want to try and skip the terry cloth, use newspapers.
Avoid anything with a lot of ammonia, or any ammonia at all if possible - such as Windex - it can make your tint turn lose, and also discolor it.
And BTW - welcome to the board!
(Also note - just one forum down is the Show & Shine section - this type of question really belongs in there...just for future reference).

I ended up buying the Zaino Bros Z-12 Glass polish and with a little elbow grease, it worked wonderfully.
