This can happen on a wooden window, where polyurethane varnish on the frame gets on the glass. Unfortunately, once polyurethane cures, it won't dissolve in anything, which is one of the things that make it so good.

It won't actually dissolve the polyurethane, but it may soften it a bit and make mechanical removal easier.
