The best methods to remove oil film from the windshield are: 1. Take the car to an auto beauty shop for glass polishing; 2. Purchase ready-made oil film removal products from the market. Before use, clean the car to avoid scratching the glass with attached sand particles. Spray the cleaner evenly on the glass, scrub vigorously, and finally rinse with water or wipe clean with a damp towel; 3. Use a household towel dipped in dishwashing detergent to scrub the front windshield forcefully; 4. Baking soda toothpaste contains abrasives that can clean tiny pores on the glass surface; 5. An eraser or car wash clay has adhesive properties that can stick to and remove the oil film; 6. Newspapers have some oil-absorbing effects. Dip them in water and wipe repeatedly to remove the oil film.

As a frequent driver, when I encounter windshield oil film, I use a mixture of dishwashing liquid and warm water to remove it. The specific method is to spray it on the glass, gently wipe it with a soft cloth, and finally rinse it with clean water. The oil film is usually a layer of grease accumulated from road dust and vehicle exhaust. If not removed, it will affect nighttime driving visibility. This method is both cheap and practical. Just buy a bottle of dishwashing liquid from the supermarket, and cleaning once a week is enough to prevent accumulation. In addition, remember to clean the wiper blades to prevent residual dirt from causing the oil film to recur. If not dealt with in time, driving in the rain will be more strenuous, and blurred vision increases the risk of accidents. I have been doing this for several years, and the effect is stable, rarely spending big money on professional car washes.

Does a Headlight Brightener Really Work?

The so-called headlight brightener is essentially adding two headlight relays to the original vehicle's headlight circuit. For vehicles with aging wiring and poor contact issues, installing one can have some effect. However, for vehicles with normal wiring, installing it may not be useful. Here is the relevant introduction: The headlight brightener uses the original vehicle's headlight switch group to control the coil winding of the brightener's relay, thereby opening and closing the relay's contacts. When the headlight switch is turned on, current flows through the relay's winding, and the magnetic field generated by the coil magnetizes the iron core, causing the contacts to close. The positive current from the battery flows from the fixed contact through the moving contact to the headlight bulb and then back to the battery's negative terminal via the return line.

How high can the shoes be when driving?

When driving, the heel of the shoes should not be higher than four centimeters. Traffic safety laws stipulate: According to traffic safety laws, behaviors that hinder safe driving, such as wearing slippers, high heels over 4 centimeters, driving barefoot, or holding a phone while talking, are prohibited. Violations will result in a deduction of 2 points and a certain fine. Although the law has clearly specified the height of heels, in reality, shoes with excessively high heels or overly thick soles can significantly impact driving. Disadvantages of high heels: If the heel is too high (above 4cm), when the driver attempts to press the brake or accelerator, the heel can easily get stuck in the gap between the pedal (brake pedal) and the car floor, making it difficult to fully depress the pedal, severely affecting normal driving.

Where is the windshield wiper switch located in a car?

Most car wiper switches are located on the right-hand stalk of the steering wheel, though a few models may have them on the left-hand stalk. These are commonly referred to as stalk-type wiper switches. To use the wipers, simply pull the wiper control lever toward the driver to activate the washer fluid spray. Below is an introduction to windshield wipers: 1. The wiper system consists of components such as an electric motor, reducer, four-bar linkage, wiper arm spindle, and wiper blade assembly. Its primary function is to clear rain, snow, and dust from the windshield that obstruct visibility. 2. The power source for the wipers comes from the electric motor, which is the core of the entire wiper system. Wiper motors typically use DC permanent magnet motors and are often integrated with the worm gear mechanism when installed on the windshield. The worm gear mechanism serves to reduce speed and increase torque, with its output shaft driving the four-bar linkage. This linkage converts continuous rotational motion into a side-to-side oscillating movement.
