Ted shuffled out of his cave and grunted these great (and sometimes not so great) words of knowledge:
We use a glass cleaner for the majority of cleaning, and about once every 2 weeks (or if there is a "crud" spill) we use "Soft Scrub". Our glass top is going on six years old and except for some minor scratches around the one burner we use most frequently, it looks like new.

We have a new glasstop range. Is there a good homemade or commercial cleaner for keeping the top in good shape?

My glasstop stove came with a bottle of the cleaner stuff and the enclosed video said "Soft Scrub" without bleach would do the same thing. Sometimes for just a quick wipe I used Windex, also. However, I do add more ammonia to the bottle to make it a tad stronger. My cooktop looks brand new, too. Just a little elbow grease keeps it looking like that.

Have you tried Simple Green? I don't use it at home, but a lot of people do. It takes (wet) ink off the copy machine (a Rizo) in a flash, maybe it will do the same with kitchen grease.
