The Bon Ami traditionally used for cleaning glass is the cake variety.
The powder says its the same formula as the cake. I first encountered this
stuff working back stage, it seems to be the default cleaner for spotlight
lenses and mirrors. The cake type is not supposed to contain any abrasive,
perhaps there is some in the powder type.
In any case Windex or dishwashing detergent is safe.
