Im trying to clean the windows on the GTP and they are nasty, invisible glass got the surface stuff off but that's it, tried a claybar, no luck.
The driver side window also has paper stuck to it from window stickers, I cant get off.

Whats the strongest/ best stuff I can use to remove the grime, waterspots and stickers?
 


Brake-kleen. I use that sh!t on everything! LOL

Ad a razor blade to the mix and you should have clean glass in no time.
 
Paint prep degreaser, solvent based. Such as PPG's DX330. 3M's general purpose adhesive remover is a bit milder and is commonly sold OTC in quarts. Follow with Sprayway glass cleaner and wads of newspaper. Mild paint polishes or cleaner / wax type products don't seem to hurt glass, just don't try gritty rubbing compound. As mentioned, good quality 0000 steel wool is safe if used gently and lubed with glass cleaner. None of this would really be safe to try on film tint.
 


I've always had the best luck with Goo Gone and a razor blade. I let the Goo soak for about 10 minutes, then the sticker generally scrapes right off. Then Invisible Glass does a great job of cleaning the remaining goo off.

Just remember, if you have to do the inside of your rear windshield, be very careful about the rear defogger.
 
It probably goes without saying but... if using a razor blade, always start with a freshly unwrapped brand new and clean blade. Plastic razor blades are also available.

For sure. I thought he got a no parking here sticker or something like that.

outside, and im not sure what kind of sticker it was theres just little pieces of paper stuck to window, that haven't been coming off.
 


If you don't have tint on the outside the technique in the video will work just fine. 3M adhesive remover or goo gone will help loosen the adhesive. A heat gun also helps.

Glass cleaner alone will not remove it.

in addition to the sticker residue, there are a crap load of waterspots
 
I've always used WD-40 and it works great on adhesive, plus almost everyone has it just sitting on the shelf.
 
Try the razor blade in a small area. You'd be amazed at how much crap is on the glass, and the razor gets rid of it. I do it all the time, and use glass cleaner to keep things wet.
