Windshield oil film remover for rain clarity: Auto Grooming Clean View
In short
Auto Grooming Clean View is a windshield oil film remover I first tried at a self-service car wash in Korea.

I was worried about the cloudy marks left on my windshield even after using the wipers on rainy days. To remove the oily film on my car’s glass, I tried Auto Grooming Clean View Oil Film Remover for the first time.
What problem made me use an oil film remover?
When it rained, the windshield seemed to smear, and marks remained even after the wipers passed over it. Since it was my first time using an oil film remover, I worried the job might be difficult, but the actual process was simpler than I expected.
How do you use Clean View Oil Film Remover?
It is a product for removing oily film and grime from car glass. I applied it directly to the glass, rubbed it with a towel, and rinsed it with water.
What order did I follow at the self-service car wash?
I washed the windshield first, applied the product and scrubbed it, then rinsed it thoroughly. Finally, I checked its condition after the glass had dried.
What did I do before applying the product?
I cleaned the windshield thoroughly at the self-service car wash. At this point, I could see that water did not spread evenly across the whole glass and instead beaded up in spots.
Was it easy to apply to the glass?
I applied an appropriate amount to the clean windshield. Pressing the bottle to squeeze it out made it spread well, so the application step was easy.
Did scrubbing with a towel take much effort?
I wiped the areas where I had applied the product with a towel. Moving from the top to the bottom of the windshield, I rubbed slowly in circular motions.
As I rubbed, the glass surface gradually began to feel more resistant.
The center area, where the wipers make frequent contact, was especially dirty, so I rubbed it two or three times. The process itself was simple, but cleaning this area took a little effort.
What difference did I notice after rinsing and on a rainy day?
After scrubbing, I rinsed it thoroughly with water. Before, water had remained in blotchy marks; afterward, I could see it spreading thinly and flowing away naturally.
Once dry, the glass looked cleaner and clearer overall. Later, when I actually drove on a rainy day, I felt there were fewer marks where the wipers passed and that my view was clearer than before.
Was I satisfied as a first-time oil film remover user?
The apply, scrub, and rinse order was simple, so it was easy to follow even on my first try. It did take the extra work of repeated scrubbing, but I was satisfied because I could see a difference in how the water flowed and in my rainy-day visibility.
I also felt the price was not burdensome. For someone trying DIY oil-film removal for the first time, this was a satisfying car-care product in both its process and results.
