Its normally because its sun baked or glue residue, Solvent graffiti remover is good.    500ml aerosol 4.99.

when doing a builders window clean how much do you guys charge per window compared to a normal window clean?  i'm never sure how much extra to charge.

For builders cleans I just get my ladders and trad tools out and I make sure I price these jobs like I don't want them.

Builder's clean?

Just around with a house brick wrapped in emery cloth and rub all over the windows in small circles.

That'll do the trick.
