Jewellers rouge, or go to a shop that sells binoculars and optical instruments, or even an optician for some specialist glass cleaning stuff.
To go to extremes...from my youth in astronomy and telescopes etc, you can get a special grinding paste for mirrors and lenses from serious scientific instrument sellers.
Believe it or not, toothpaste makes a very good glass cleaner.

I'm glad someone else noticed how useful toothpaste is, I've used it for ages to clean up glass.I got the info from my wife, she uses it all the time to clean up her jewellery and nice glass stuff, shines it up a treat.

Excellent, and if there's any left you can always use it to clean your teeth!
