Can Mr. Muscle Remove Windshield Oil Film?
2 Answers
Yes, it can. Mr. Muscle has a specialized glass cleaner designed for cleaning glass. Here are the relevant details: 1. Minor dirt: For slight dirt, you don't need to use car body cleaner. Simply wipe with a towel, and it will clean immediately. However, if there is oil film on the glass, it's difficult to remove with ordinary methods. In this case, you need to use a specialized glass cleaner for oil film removal, which helps prevent oil film from adhering to the glass. 2. Toothpaste cleaning: Toothpaste has strong cleaning properties. Prepare the toothpaste you use daily, find an old toothbrush, apply the toothpaste to the toothbrush, brush along the windshield, and then wipe with a wet cloth to remove the oil film.
Mr. Muscle Kitchen Cleaner contains alkaline degreasing ingredients, which theoretically can remove oil film from windshields due to its strong oil-dissolving capability. However, I must warn that this is not a good method. Windshields often have special coatings or anti-fog layers, and the chemicals in Mr. Muscle may corrode these coatings, leading to blurred glass or streaks. A common misconception is using household cleaners to save money, but this can leave chemical residues that impair visibility and wear out wiper blades, shortening their lifespan. Oil film buildup usually comes from road grime or rainwater residue, so safety should be the priority when removing it. Professional automotive glass cleaners are more suitable—they are specifically designed for glass, with gentle formulas that won’t damage surfaces and often include hydrophobic effects. I’ve seen many car owners regret using Mr. Muscle as a quick fix, ending up with rough glass and noisy wipers, leading to higher repair costs. I strongly recommend using dedicated products or simple soapy water for cleaning to ensure driving safety.
