Car windshield glass for a long time will always produce an oil film, this oil film will reduce the transmittance of the glass, affect the line of sight and clarity, affect driving safety, therefore, regularly clean the oil film on the car glass is also a very important car maintenance operation, I usually pay more attention to car cleaning and maintenance, today to talk about my car maintenance diary L ~ remove glass oil film.
My car Touguan L is the 2023 330TSL automatic two-wheel drive R-Line version, which has been with me for one year and five months. I usually do a good job in car maintenance to better protect our safe travel!
The glass oil film is mainly due to the pollution of automobile exhaust, smoke and dust, as well as the erosion of dust particles and Rain Water during driving, which is attached to the glass and will form an oil film without cleaning or wiping it for a long time.
If the oil film can not be wiped clean for a longer time, even if glass water is usually used, it will still cause blurred vision and the hidden danger of safe driving, so the car glass oil film had better be removed once a month or two to avoid getting thicker and thicker.
It is estimated that cyclists will have a variety of ways to remove the oil film from the car glass, such as handy detergent or hand sanitizer. I have also heard of people using local materials to use toothpaste, ha. Toothpaste is really an omnipotent cleaner, but I don’t think these are the best options. I used oil film remover a few days ago, and I feel that the effect is more durable and cheaper than toothpaste. If it is not urgent, you can choose to use oil film cleaner, and the process is also very simple.
A few days ago, my car didn’t stop in the underground garage, the spring rain was attached to the car with dust, and the whole body became a big flower face, and I happened to wash the car, if I went directly to the car beauty shop to deal with the oil film. I guess it will take at least 200 meters to clean up, so I don’t bother people. I clean it up at home with oil film remover and then wash the car.
Remember to clean the glass before using the oil film remover and make sure there is no dust on the glass surface so as not to scratch the glass. It is not convenient to use water downstairs, so I put some water in the bucket used for camping and brought it to the car. This is the material used to remove the oil film: oil film remover, sponge wipe, water, rag.
Using a mineral water bottle to get water from a bucket to wash the car window glass is quite strong. Wash the car window glass clean with water, as long as there is no dust on the surface of the glass.
The oil film remover I use is foamy. After shaking for a few times, it is sprayed on the glass. The foam is still very rich.
The oil film remover is evenly smeared on the glass, and then pressed repeatedly and uniformly with a sponge, the holes in the glass can be ground off, thus playing the role of removing the oil film.
The edges and corners of the side window are also cleaned up, including the rearview mirrors on both sides, so that you don’t have to worry about glare and can’t see the rear car clearly at night.
A wipe, and finally rinse with clean water, dry towel wipe clean, the effect has been obvious. After the front shield has been removed, it has been as clean and bright as a mirror, with infinite clarity.
After I finished operating at home, I drove to the car beauty salon to wash it thoroughly. Simple construction, the price is not expensive, a bottle of more than 20 meters is estimated to be able to use 2-3 times, a good effect, glass back to clarity, but also in the glass surface to form a protective film.

Look at the effect, after the use of rainy days, the window glass is also very clear, a good line of sight, but also improve the safety of driving. Remove the oil film from the glass regularly, so that there will be no reflection and blurring when driving on rainy days or at night, so as to ensure our travel safety and make us feel more comfortable on the road.
Finally, I repeat: maintenance is not only the care of the car, but also the commitment to safe driving. Taking good care of the car can not only prolong the service life of the car, but also ensure driving safety and enhance the driving experience.
