You can try some bar keepers friend or clr for local stuff. Or you can go w/ some ssr1 on a pc.

00 steel wool with a soapy water solution. And for the sticker, razer blade to remove it then again 00 steel wool to remove the haze left behind.

Hopefully you mean 0000 steel wool? I wouldnt use anything more agressive than that! Even at 0000, you can still scratch glass such as your side mirrors. I'd only use 0000 sw on windshields, and I'd still be cautious.

Maybe cheep glass itll scratch, like the glass on my cheepy m3 mirrors. But 00 should not scratch you stock glass. But finer wouldn't be bad.

I tried 0000 on my side mirror. It scratches. Trust me.

Eh I don't doubt that it will scratch some cheep mirror. I personally have used 00steel wool to clean glass with no problems. I'm sure if you used a lot of pressure and little/no lube it would scratch.

Another good way to clean glass is using a mild rubbing/polishing compound on a RO buffer.
