That oily film is hard to remove with ordinary spray-on liquids. Best stuff is something you might remember from your youth - Glass Wax. You spread it on, let it dry, then wipe off the haze. The calcium carbonate (chalk) picks up the oils. The old fashioned pink stuff in a can (remember using it with stencils on your winter windows?) is no longer available, but you can order a white version of Glass Wax on Amazon.
