I used TFR last week for getting it off the paintwork of a mates van,sprayed it on and left it for 5mins and it came off easily,so on glass it should do the same.

Soak glass and cement well 1st, maybe use a squirt of Cillit Bang as well, then scrape off carefully using a 4" scraper with new blade in. We have been using this method for years and it works well.

ive used brick cleaner before this was for large amounts on new build work it dont mark glass or plastic you just brush it on with a small hand brush leave for around 2 minutes then wash off for small amounts ive found just soking with warm water & soap will bring it off i spent 6 years working on building sites and this was how i was shown to remove cement and it allways worked
