Default new car window sticky stuff

I just got my '04 GX, it was a nice day so I decided to wash it for the first time. While cleaning the windows I notice a light sticky film, this was on the RX as well. What is this and how can I get it off? When I took the RX in to the dealer to complain about it, some JR maintenance dude came with a rag and some glass cleaner and explained to me it was how I was cleaning it. So in his infinite wisdom and experience he wiped the correct way. Still had the streaks !

I am sure it has to do with shipping prep, it is hard as heck to get off. Any suggestions??

Acetone will take just about anything off of glass, but be careful to keep it off the paint. I follow with some glass cleaner and you should be good to go.
