Any of the chemicals you mentioned will work and shouldn't hurt the glass. I've used lacquer thinner myself on my windshield (outside) to get various crap off of it and it never fogged the glass. When I pulled my old rear glass I SOAKED it in lacquer thinner and scrubbed to get all that old sealer off the edges and the glass is fine. If you are still scared, try 50/50 ammonia/water mix which is basically Windex on steroids. Wear gloves for that... I think you will be fine.

Hands down the best stuff I've ever used: http://www.glazedistributing.com/glaze.htmlLast item on the page. I have a 70' blue spruce in my front yard and always have to clean sap. This wipes it right off like it's not even there.

Like dissolves like. So, for tree sap, you want a pine terpene or an orange terpene. Pine Sol is one, Goof Off is d-limonene (from oranges). Neother will hurt paint and both are relatively safe on your hands. PineSol will rinse with water and the Goof Off you could use some good detergent afterwards. ( I cleaned defense products for 35 years so I know some good cleaning stuff. :). Tom
