Windshield oil film is really a hassle. I often encountered it when driving my old car, especially in rainy weather when visibility was blurry. I solved it with a simple method: first, rinse the glass surface clean to avoid scratching it with sand, then dilute white vinegar and apply it to a sponge, gently spreading it over the entire windshield. Let it sit for three to five minutes to allow the vinegar to break down the oil, then wipe it clean with a dry towel or old newspaper. If the vinegar smell is too strong, mix baking soda with water into a paste and apply it for wiping. The key is to do this regularly every week or two, as the oil film comes from road oil or brake dust adhesion. Relatedly, avoid parking in areas with heavy oil fumes, and replace the wiper blades once a year, otherwise, oil stains can easily recur and affect driving safety. The whole operation is cheap and eco-friendly, saving you the expense of going to a repair shop.
