Sometimes, Alchol or Viniger may do the trick. If not use a 1/1 ratio of Amonia and Water.

Windex with Vinegar.. it's clear, and has a yellow label and top. It's the only stuff I've ever used that leaves no streaks... but you have to wipe the window down 2 or 3 times. It tends to coat the junk on the window and if you don't get it off, it films. But when you get it all off, it's crystal clear.
