Use a rag saturated in White vinegar. Be very careful not to get any on the paint. Wipe off with a towel, and follow up with windex or a top quality glass cleaner. HTH — "Freedom Is a Light for Which Many Have Died in Darkness"  - Tomb of the unknown – American Revolution

777:  What is the best way to remove the oily film of coolant from a vehicle’s windshield? PRESTONE:  Thanks very much for your inquiry. Antifreeze is water soluble so we would recommend that you use a warm soapy water to help remove. Additionally, a multi-purpose glass cleaner may also be of further assistance. We hope this has been helpful. Prestone 777:  There you have it!  From the folks that should know. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -> 1.)

Response:

you need a serious degreaser like WD-40. Most people think of it as a lubricant but it is actually a petroleum distillate.

Response:

A few suggestions in increasing levels of aggressiveness….. 1.) Try Dawn or JOY dishwashing liquid….you could also dilute some in a gallon jug and run it through the reservoir to help remove any residual in the tank and lines. 2.) or Rain-X …mostly alcohol, self-cleaning, plus works really well in the rain 3.) or Scrub it down good with white vinegar Now for the more aggresive stuff….wear gloves and be careful not to get any on your paint! 4.) The active ingredient in a lot of the window cleaner is ammonia. CAREFULLY!!!!  lightly dampen a rag with ammonia to clean the window.  Avoid getting on the paint and window moldings. 5.)  There is one more EXTREMELY aggressive suggestion…but I do NOT recommend it for ethylene-glycol…the dishwashing liquid should take care if it.  For industrial pollutants or diesel smoke stains on glass, you can use Sno-Bowl or "The Works" toilet bowl cleaner.  This is basically hydrochloric acid so I don’t think I need to go into depth on the negative effets of acid on paint and metal. A friend of mine used to live next to a truck yard and his very dark tinted windows used to get a terrible looking purple/blue film from the diesel smoke.  No matter what he tried, nothing worked except the toilet bowl cleaner. Obviously, you’ll want to rinse everything off really well with copious amounts of water when your finished. 777

I’ve been told that the carbonation in a soda drink would cut the oily grease.  You might try that. — Jason "If you’re gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough!"

Coca Cola contains the most phosphoric acid among the top soft drink brands. Along the lines of 0.11% phosphoric acid,  that is if I done the spectrophotometrey correctly in chem lab. Wesley Murphy 91 EB 4×4

My father accidently put the rad fliud in my windshield washer holder, now my windshield is very oily when it rains, you can see the iol spots. I’ve washed the wipers and the windshield but it got worse, any way i can remove the oil stains on the windshield?

Response:

Glycol sticks like crap on a wool blanket….. if it were mine, I’d use a glass cleaner containing ammonia and replace the wiper blades at the same time. To do either one of these separately would "re-infect" the other. Ooops, BEFORE I did this, I’d remove the washer reservoir and rinse it….. rinse it lots…. and then rinse it some more….. Then, I’d reinstall the reservoir and pump a bunch of washer fluid through the lines and nozzles. After all that, I’d have Dad take me and Mum out for a nice supper at a moderately upscale restaraunt as restitution…… say a nice prime rib, a really decent wine with Irish coffee for dessert. — Jim Warman
