Steel wool, I used to work at a body shop and thats all we used. I dont trust razorblades unless they are brand new. Any bends or nicks in the metal can cause scratches. 0000 steel wool will def not scratch and it will take it all off. Use it with windex. While you are out there do it on the outside of all your windows, it will make them SHINE.
Jegs sells plastic razor blades just for glass....
Take one look at a razor blades edge under a microscope and it
looks like a serrerated knifes cutting edge. Not for my glass....

That's why I say using a chemical first would be better than scraping. But, I have come across some chemicals that can etch the glass as well. Either way, if it happened to my car, and it was more than a few inches- they'd be putting a new windshield in the car.

I always have some steel wool in a bag in my trunk to get any bug splatters off my windshield after they dry. That's all I used to use at the body shop for any little bit of overspray on the glass, however, I did make the mistake once of trying to use it on the side mirror. I won't do that again...
