You can just use the cleaner you use for the viv. I use Beaclean and I use it on the windows too it works really well.

I use a thing called a microfire cloth, if you belive what is says on the back then its the best thing since slice bread. But they realy are very good at getting marks and streaks off you just spray on some plain water no chemicals. My gf also swears by vinegar and newspaper, or you can try one of the many glas cleaning products on the market. As for taking the glass you pushing it right into the top tunner then pulling the bottom towards you should usualy do the job. How did you get the glass in, in the first place? If you cant get it out y ou will have to clean it in situe.

i agree micro fibre cloths are great, they even sell versions for your face and they require no cleaners just water. i sound like an advert but i was impressed by them and that rarely happens to me when it comes to cleaning products.
