I recently noticed that 'somebody' has come along and written their initials on my car window. It seems to be some sort of wax crayon as you only see it when it gets wet (1st thing in the morning with the dew). I have tried window cleaner, boiling water, Mr muscle etc but it wont budge. I don't really want to try scratching it off or use any sort of strong abrasive. Any ideas?

Use a little baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) on a damp cloth to take it right off. It's nontoxic, cheap, environmentally friendly, easy, fast, effective.

Very hot, strong ammonia water. You'll obviously need rubber gloves. The only abrasive safe to use on glass is Bon Ami scouring powder since it's made of talc which is much softer than glass.

For glass, I have used a little rubbing alcohol on my house replacement windows. After they were installed, there were a few areas that had glue on the glass. I take a cleaning rag dipping corner of it in the alcohol, and lightly soak the glue and rub area. You can also again use a razor blade to lightly scrape it off after the rubbing alcohol has begun to break down the glue.

Goo Gone works well.
