I saw this glass polish that claimed it can remove hard to remove oil and dirt on windscreen. Selling for $2 as usual at Daiso.

 

The ingredient is Cerium Oxide. Anyone tried using Cerium Oxide to polish windscreen? Does it really help?

I used cerium oxide, in pure powder form, when my previous car's windscreen had juddering problems with the wipers.

It worked to remove the grime and dirt from the windscreen and the juddering problem was solved.

 

Got the contact of the person who supplied it then from fellow forumers, Genie47 and Protege back in 2004.

 

Here is the link to the discussion if you are interested:

Cerium oxide is used as glass polish.

So it should work to remove oil film on glass.

Btw, which Daiso sells this?

yes, it is used in glass polishing. Glass as is optical glass / lenses / prisms / windows/ etc and can also be used to "hand touch" our wind screen.

it basically removes a "layer" off the sub surface. And NO, it will not make your windscreen thinner. but its sufficient to clear away all the stains, fine scratches, etc etc...

but do make sure you spend time to polish it and wash off.

Efficient! [thumbsup]

 

BTW Bro. the one sold in Daiso is somewhat diluted, you need to use more effort and time to do the glass up. I used it on my shower panel. :D 3/4 bottle, but for $2, really you cannot and should not complain. :D

I got one of this bottle from daiso too.

Very powerful cleaner.

Once I leave it on windscreen for a while, I can see the effects of stains being dissolved, even before I started polishing.

Definitely visible signs of something being desolved.

Very likely could be oil films or other rain repellant coatings.

 

Kitchen degreaser or citrus acid could also do it , no polishing effect.

More elbow power needed niah, $2 cannot hiam liow.

Spend more time on one area, then flush off with lots of H2O,

make sure really clean, use clean cloth to wipe glass. Thereafter,

no worries.
