Default Mister Clean Magic Eraser.

Heard that the eraser get rid of the oil and gunk that gets on the inside and outside of windows and must admit that I tried it. Wet it down and scrub away. Gotta admit it does a great job.
Been using Stoners and always seem to have a bit of a film on the glass (micro and Stoners) and this removed it entirely. For use areound the rear glass heat electros use lightly or you can damage the conductive paint.

They do work wonders, almost Magic, on many surfaces.
I recall a thread a while back from a guy who wanted to use it on his car's paint.

If you ever try it on a gloss painted surface and see what it actually does to the finish, you will NEVER use it on paint again! Might as well use some 1000grit.

That's the first warning I read.
I am going to redo my glass top strip, clearcoat and polish and I used it on that and it took off most of the remaining coating, those little shards. Only have to sand a bit now. That's this weekends job.

Default does wonders on sills...........

I have been using them for my door sill for quite some time - they get black scuffs off with no problem. I first got the idea from the detail section here.

I used one a Formica countertop in our laundry room, now there is a dull spot where it seemed to take some of the gloss finish off. My wife cleaned her antique dressing table with a Magic eraser. It is painted a high gloss white. It took the stains and grime off great, but the paint is no longer a gloss finish! They do work great, just try it on a hidden spot before you do any damage.

I didn't think about the sills. Good Point. I have the covers that I painted and clear coated so I'll have to try it on them.

Thanks.

Just be careful on painted surfaces ---

It took the shine right off part of a door in my house.

Otherwise --- those things are great! CostCo sells a box of 10, I think....

Saw this after I posted --- and I agree ---

My DD is an Caddilac Escalade EXT with light tan interior. It gets dirty where you put your arm, and the seats even turn a light shade of blue (from newer jeans), and I tried lots of cleaners with minimal success. I tried one of the Magic Erasers on the seats and armrests a couple of months ago and it worked great. Took the crud right off. I keep a couple with my car cleaning supplies now.

Did you read the warning label? I know, guys usually don't need to do that.
This is from their website...

Test first on a well lit, inconspicuous spot with light pressure. Let the spot dry to see if it is modified or damaged. Not recommended for the following surfaces: High Gloss, Polished, Dark, Brushed, Satin, Faux, Bare/polished wood, or stainless steel. If using for dishwashing, rinse dishes thoroughly. Do not use with chlorine bleach, on vehicle body, or post factory tinted glass.
It warns about keeping out of reach of children and pets and accidental ingestion, or use on skin or other parts of the body, which will likely cause abrasions.

I can't find the chemical used, but I'd recommend it be treated as any other potentially harmful chemical product.
