Carefully remove the tint. It will actually peal off if careful and old enough.
After removal, use warm soapy water. He uses water and Dawn in a spray bottle and scrub it with 0000 wire wool.
I had read about this and tried it. Didn't work in my case because, no matter how careful I was, I was only able to get a 1/2 inch piece off at a time. Plus the adhesive underneath was impervious to any chemical I tried (except the isopropyl alcohol). I tried a few different types of soap, brake cleaner, methyl hydrate, VIM, Goof Off, gasoline, Goo Gone, etc.
I imagine there are different types of tints/adhesives used over the years. I can only assume that mine, for whatever reason, was a strange duck.
