If its a solid thick smear, try cornflour starch or talcum powder on dry 0000 grade  wire wool. If its a silicon solution like polish- hard luck there is nothing in this universe that will remove it.
But there are now newer silicon products that are water soluble.

A brand new blade in ya scraper, then wet the window first,
comes off a treat with a bit elbow grease thrown in!
