How to clean these scuffs on my windows?

So we all know that the rollers catch dirt in the windows and then scuff the windows. i am noticing this on the outside of the window. how do i effectively get rid of these?

Clean them normally? Do they not come off when you wash the car?

Try windex + newspaper (yes, newspaper). Works on the inside, you can try it outside.

Not if you have tint. Windex contains ammonia, which, over time, will destroy the integrity of your tint and leave it cloudy and rough.

Invisible glass ftmfw.

I've been using invisible glass and have gotten some great results. The only thing I don't like about the newspaper is using it on the bottom of windows and sunroof window. The lint gets caught on what looks like a felt outer ring and looks like crap.

try and post pics.

there is a specific glass polish made, but I'm not sure how different it is from normal polish. You may want to try that.

The folks who did my tint suggested using a mixture of baby shampoo and water. Just passing that along.
