oily residue
Slippery surface coating
Oily residue is the greasy film or slick substance left behind after something oily has been removed, evaporated, or wiped away.
It appears on cooking surfaces, mechanical parts, skin, or anywhere oils have been present: The pan still had an oily residue even after washing.
The phrase often implies something unwanted that resists easy cleaning.
