How to Remove Oil Film from Car by Yourself?
2 Answers
Clean the car thoroughly before use, apply detergent, scrub vigorously on the glass, and finally wipe clean with water or a damp towel. Toothpaste contains abrasives, and baking soda also has oil-removing properties.
To remove car oil film by myself, I usually start by washing the entire car body with car shampoo, paying special attention to the front windshield. When the glass is semi-dry, I apply a professional oil film remover or a mixture of white vinegar and water in a 1:1 ratio, letting it sit for a few minutes to soften the stains. Then, I gently scrub in circular motions with a soft sponge or cloth, being careful not to press too hard to avoid scratching the glass. After rinsing it clean and drying, I apply a layer of car wax as a protective barrier to prevent new oil film formation. I do this process regularly, which saves a lot of money, and prevention is key: I rinse the car at least once a week and apply a water repellent during heavy rain to maintain clear visibility. Oil film is caused by the accumulation of rainwater and dirt, and if not removed, it can affect nighttime driving safety. I find this method consistently effective, eliminating the need for professional services while also fostering DIY enjoyment. The tools are simple, and common household materials are sufficient, but stubborn oil film may require a few repetitions to ensure complete removal.
