Can Dish Soap Remove Oil Film from Car Glass?

[BradleyLee]

Dish soap has some effect, but it is very limited. The causes of oil film formation and methods for removing oil film are as follows: Causes of oil film formation: During normal driving, the exhaust from the vehicle in front contains many unburned fuel particles that settle on the windshield. Over time, these particles form an oil film. Those who are handy can try cleaning the windshield with dish soap. If the problem persists after cleaning, it is recommended to seek help from a professional at a car detailing shop. Methods for removing oil film: Specialized glass cleaners designed for oil film removal should be used. These cleaners help prevent oil film from adhering to the glass. Before use, it is best to clean the window first; otherwise, the cleaning effect will be significantly reduced. After the glass cleaner dries, it turns white like wax and can be wiped off with a soft cloth.
