Hard to believe I can't find the answer....

...to this question.

Long story short: tried to remove some oil stain I slopped on the window pane using mineral spirits on a rag and got most of it off but kinda smeared it a bit and I was wondering what might take the rest of it off.

Is there any other way than a razor blade? It'll work (I used it on some drips) but it will take a while (a lotta drips on six 4' x 8' windows starting 10 feet off the floor. Lotta time on the ladder with a bad back and a dislike of heights.

Any other suggestions? Gotta have this done by Sunday night.

Rag dipped in acetone or lacquer thinner.

Use solvent on a rag wrapped over a 6" taping knife.

A neighbor had a similar problem with his 2nd story windows... he used one of those "swifter" mops with acetone and a long handle.. Mac

Keeping solvents at a distance is generally a good idea, but I'm not sure that overhead is the direction I'd want them to go.
