Dish soap can remove oil film from windshield. Using dish soap is a relatively convenient method to remove oil film. Apply a small amount of dish soap on a wet towel and scrub the glass vigorously, then rinse it clean. Below are other methods to remove oil film: Toothpaste can also remove oil film because it contains abrasive particles that provide a polishing effect. When using toothpaste to clean oil film, apply even pressure and wipe uniformly to better clean the pores on the glass surface and remove the oil film. Using an eraser, detailing clay, or newspaper to wipe the glass can also remove oil film. An eraser and detailing clay can scrub away the oil film, while newspaper has some oil-absorbing properties. Dampening it with water and wiping repeatedly can also eliminate the oil film. These methods are economical and effective but more time-consuming and labor-intensive. In fact, a more professional approach to removing oil film is to use a dedicated oil film cleaner. Spray the cleaner evenly on the glass, then wipe it with a car wash towel or sponge for excellent cleaning results. If conditions permit, glass polishing can be performed for a more thorough removal of oil film.
