I have remnants of it on the inside of my glass and it won't come off. Not even with steam.

Any kind of product to get it off? Degreaser stuff?

Or is it out with the Heat Gun and and some cloth soaked in some kind of white spirit?

paint thinners should do it, bit on a cloth and rub it off

Use white spirit, but don't get it near the heat gun as it's highly flammable :!:

It's smeared and sprayed not solid enough for a razor?

Will check all the above.

any tar&glue will do, follow with a glass polish.
