In France they put something called Blanc de Meudon on windows which I've heard is good too. Will be trying it next time. It's basically powdered chalk mixed with water.

Wow, I might try this next time. It washes of in rain though, right? I've seen people tape thermal blankets (aluminum on plastic foil) to their Windows.

You can also use yoghurt - exactly the same principle, it's basically "casein paint". Hanging blankets on the outside of the window also cuts heat transfer through the window by ~90%.
