I've just started doing one that looks like this and they had the walls treated because of condensation in the house according to the son.

If it's silicone based, you could try a local window company and see what cleaner they use.

If it is mineral deposits you can't scrape it off.

I use T-cut on a squeegie and really scrub the marks then rinse off and you kept on repeating until the glass is mark free.

You need to charge extra for this work.
