How to get wood sealant off of a window (sh.itjust.works)

So I was using a wood sealer (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01AQTX3XU) on my newly built catio. Unfortunately I didn't notice how much I had sprayed on the adjacent window.

Now I have cloudy/foggy windows (https://imgur.com/a/TKD9wim). I've tried cleaning them with:- - - -

water via the hose directly on the window.. very little progress
windex.. very little progress
dish soap followed by host.. very little progress
vinegar.. very little progress

Any ideas for what might get this stuff off easily?---

Use a razor blade at a shallow angle.

And this article recommends waiting 48 hours to make sure it's dried enough to pick/scrape.
