# Car glass oil film remover test: AutoGrooming Clean View - By Yeoreum (https://superchart.com/en/@woven-mat/) - Written Apr 20, 2026 - Products › Home & living - Product provided: I received this product to use. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@woven-mat/autogrooming-cleanview-glass-oil-film-removal/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@woven-mat/autogrooming-cleanview-glass-oil-film-removal/index.md) ## In short AutoGrooming Clean View is a car glass oil-film remover used at a local self-service car wash in Korea. It was easy to squeeze out and apply with the included large cloth, but a hazy look remained across the glass after the wipers passed. Verdict: easy to use, but it did not completely resolve the visibility issue. ## Good to know - **Product**: AutoGrooming Clean View glass oil-film remover - **Used on**: Front, side, and rear windows and side mirrors at a local self-service car wash - **Contents**: Mint-colored oil-film remover and cloth - **Extra steps**: Foam wash and water rinse; water-repellent coating skipped *Prices as written by the tester on Apr 20, 2026 · not updated automatically* ## What was inconvenient before removing the oil film? On a rainy spring day, a hazy film remained around the middle of the glass even when I ran the wipers. It did not show up well in photos, so I took close-up shots. It made visibility inconvenient, so I decided to remove the oil film before the summer monsoon season began. ![Car glass with a hazy film remaining on a rainy spring day](https://img.superchart.com/images/autogrooming-cleanview-glass-oil-film-removal/autogrooming-cleanview-glass-oil-film-removal-01-1sasu-966.webp) *This was the condition of the car that needed oil-film removal.* ![Car glass with a hazy film remaining even after the wipers operated](https://img.superchart.com/images/autogrooming-cleanview-glass-oil-film-removal/autogrooming-cleanview-glass-oil-film-removal-02-8h7kx-966.webp) ## What product and tools did I use? I did not want to spend a lot on car care, so I did the job myself rather than taking it to a shop. This time, I used the AutoGrooming Clean View oil-film remover that I received. The mint color caught my eye first. ![AutoGrooming Clean View oil-film remover used for the DIY job](https://img.superchart.com/images/autogrooming-cleanview-glass-oil-film-removal/autogrooming-cleanview-glass-oil-film-removal-03-yid1b-966.webp) ![Product packaging for AutoGrooming Clean View oil-film remover](https://img.superchart.com/images/autogrooming-cleanview-glass-oil-film-removal/autogrooming-cleanview-glass-oil-film-removal-04-1j9c2-966.webp) I checked the directions on the back of the product and also looked up a how-to video on the brand's YouTube channel. After reviewing the process of applying it to the glass and wiping it off with the cloth, I got started. ![Product directions on the back of Clean View oil-film remover](https://img.superchart.com/images/autogrooming-cleanview-glass-oil-film-removal/autogrooming-cleanview-glass-oil-film-removal-05-1r2am-966.webp) The set was simple: the mint-colored product and a cloth in the same color. I thought it would be nice to add a water-repellent coating too, but I skipped it this time because it felt like too much hassle. ![Mint-colored Clean View oil-film remover and the included cloth](https://img.superchart.com/images/autogrooming-cleanview-glass-oil-film-removal/autogrooming-cleanview-glass-oil-film-removal-06-yu941-966.webp) ![Mint-colored product and cloth used for DIY oil-film removal](https://img.superchart.com/images/autogrooming-cleanview-glass-oil-film-removal/autogrooming-cleanview-glass-oil-film-removal-07-1bql9-966.webp) ![Car before oil-film removal at a self-service car wash](https://img.superchart.com/images/autogrooming-cleanview-glass-oil-film-removal/autogrooming-cleanview-glass-oil-film-removal-08-1tbyv-966.webp) ![Car being prepared for glass cleaning and oil-film removal](https://img.superchart.com/images/autogrooming-cleanview-glass-oil-film-removal/autogrooming-cleanview-glass-oil-film-removal-09-bkclf-966.webp) ## Was applying and wiping it off easy? I went to my local self-service car wash for the first time in a while. The car looked cleaner in the photos than it really was, but it definitely needed both an oil-film removal treatment and a wash. ![Car glass before product application at a self-service car wash](https://img.superchart.com/images/autogrooming-cleanview-glass-oil-film-removal/autogrooming-cleanview-glass-oil-film-removal-10-ounql-966.webp) When I held the bottle upside down and gave it a light squeeze, the solution came out easily. I did not need to squeeze hard, and I left the cap open while working before closing it when I was done. ![Applying Clean View oil-film remover to car glass](https://img.superchart.com/images/autogrooming-cleanview-glass-oil-film-removal/autogrooming-cleanview-glass-oil-film-removal-11-1y6on-966.webp) When I first wiped with the cloth, it felt as though the solution came off too quickly, so I reapplied it as I worked. I cleaned not only the windshield but also the side windows, side mirrors, and rear window. There was quite a bit of oil film on the rear window too, so I worked on that as well. ![Car glass being wiped while more oil-film remover is applied](https://img.superchart.com/images/autogrooming-cleanview-glass-oil-film-removal/autogrooming-cleanview-glass-oil-film-removal-12-133jz-966.webp) Another DIY oil-film remover I used before came in a stiff bottle that was uncomfortable to squeeze, and its applicator was hard too, which made the job difficult. This time, it was convenient that I could spread the product broadly with the large cloth. ![Car glass with oil-film remover spread broadly using a large cloth](https://img.superchart.com/images/autogrooming-cleanview-glass-oil-film-removal/autogrooming-cleanview-glass-oil-film-removal-13-bu2r6-966.webp) ## Did the hazy look disappear completely afterward? Since I was already at the self-service car wash, I also sprayed on foam and washed the car. At the end, I rinsed it with water, and the water ran off the glass well. ![Car being rinsed with water after oil-film removal and a foam wash](https://img.superchart.com/images/autogrooming-cleanview-glass-oil-film-removal/autogrooming-cleanview-glass-oil-film-removal-14-13q4n-966.webp) ![Car after the exterior wash at a self-service car wash](https://img.superchart.com/images/autogrooming-cleanview-glass-oil-film-removal/autogrooming-cleanview-glass-oil-film-removal-15-1qwym-966.webp) After finally washing the car again, the exterior was clean. The inside, though, was still dirty. ![Car after finishing oil-film removal and the exterior wash](https://img.superchart.com/images/autogrooming-cleanview-glass-oil-film-removal/autogrooming-cleanview-glass-oil-film-removal-16-w6ycr-966.webp) I washed the cloth in the hand-wash area at the car wash and dried it right away. The oil-film removal job itself was not difficult. Afterward, the film that had been concentrated in the middle did not appear anymore. But when the wipers passed, a hazy look remained across the entire glass. I felt there was also a problem with the wipers, so I thought I should replace them. Applying and wiping off the product was easy, but this job alone did not completely solve the visibility issue. ## Products - AutoGrooming Clean View glass oil-film remover — AutoGrooming --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@woven-mat/autogrooming-cleanview-glass-oil-film-removal/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
