The best scraper I've used is a vermop from wcw for about £7  as Steve stated, make sure you wet the glass, scrap in 1 direction and wipe the blade after each pass.

Becareful on the PVC else you'll end up taking a chunk out of it.

thin paint on frames will come off  if you rub them with a wet rag+CIF  , sometimes WD40 on a dry rag works great too  especially if you give it a minute or 2 to soak in first

 i wouldnt ever try using a scraper on a frame. as said above it will dig in  too deep

used a razor for years....problem is new glass coated with K coating...it scratches at the slightest touch of a razor blade...no matter how new the blade is, and how careful you are!!!
