Are you trying to get this off your paint? Or windshield? Wax wont do anything. You need some kind of polish with a mild grit. Rubbing compound should only be used as a last resort. Better to be light and work harder.

Should find that at places like Walmart. It'* a kitchen cleaner. It'* a powder. Take a paper towel, spray windex on the towel and then put the powder on the towel. The windex will hold it in place while you rub the glass.

Whats the main ingredient of the cleaner you used? If it'* an alkaline product use lemon juice, if it'* an acid base use some vinegar. Bon Ami is good, but; if you get to aggressive in your cleaning you can scratch glass with it. You may want to try some acetone or alcohol as well.
