Question

the film was used so you couldnt see in and has been on window for several years.

Answer 1

turps

Answer 2

Usually plain mineral oil or salad oil -any oil, but these are usually around the house & work well. Spread the oil over the goo and let it sit for a good while. The use a single edged razor blade to gently scrape away the residue. Clean with plain rubbing alcohol or ammonia to cut away the oil and finish off with your most effective window cleaner. I've never used fabric softener, but will try it: what a lovely idea...something that smells good to clean the glass!

Answer 3

A product called Goo Gone or White Vinegar spread on neat will work to remove the film from your window, you must clean your windows after both these hints are used, you can clean your windows with one to two capfuls of liquid fabric softner to a nearly full bucket of water, no need to rinse just dry with a soft towel or dry soft cloth or even newspaper scrunched up will do the trick.
