An excellent procedure is to use an ammonia glass cleaner, followed by an
anti-static solution (such as used as a final bath for films), followed by
a distilled water rinse. In the past, a non-scratching cleaner (known in
the US as "Bon Ami") was used, but I don't think that is available. To be
ready for coating, the surface must be completely oil and grease-free.
