I can't remember if I posted this question on this forum or not, but I still don't have an answer, so I'll post here in case I didn't and someone has a suggestion.
I have a tank that when I got it, it was in nasty condition. It took weeks to get it clean. I used bleach, boiling water, and vinager to scrub it down and clean it up. I finally got it clean and started cycling it, then during the cycling, I basically ignored it until I put my starter fish from my main tank in there... It had streaks like there were finger prints or water streaking, but I just left it be while I took care of the starter fish.
Once the tank was cycled and I put the starter fish back in the main tank, and put the Rams in, I took some windex to clean it up for optimal viewage.
that's when I noticed, as soon as the windex would dry, the smudging would come back. I windexed several more times and still it came back.
So I tried lyme away. Still came back. So I tried vinager, still came back. So I tried Vinager and Lemon Juice. nothing... so finally I tried straight Ammonia. I wiped it on with a rag, let it sit, then washed the ammonia off with plain water. STILL there...

Anyone have any other suggestions? It's quite unsightly and detracts from the tank.
