    I'd try stove top cleaner in a small area before taking a blade to it, e.g. Cerasel. Bear in mind, if the blade isn't in good condition or lubricated, it'll scratch the surface.

    As suggested, using a blade like you'd use when cleaning the glass stove tops would be the next approach. Use a lubricant; car wash, detergent, spray and wipe, etc. It'll be a reasonably long, tedious process due to the size of the wind screen. Could try soften the surface with very hot water, add a detergent too (though bring the glass temp up if you're talking very cold conditions).

    I used to be a detailer for Alfa Romeo years back, we'd have to use a blade on the windows to clean them due to protective film/wax which was on them from factory to protect from contaminents during transit.

    I've used AutoGlym Car Glass Polish on our old '95 Corolla with success. Got rid of all the stain and waterdrop marks.

    Thank you everyone for the replies, gives me a few more ideas to try on this frustrating problem! Also, thanks brad for the offer but in the meantime a non-VW mate has given me some Rain-X Extreme to try. I'll see how this goes before trying some of the other tips. Open floor for the products brad is offering though. Cheers!
