Streaks/smudge On My Windshield...

When my wiper wipes, the glass get the streaks/smudge... it stays for like a 1-2 seconds...
but cause the wiper is constantly wiping... streaks are always forming....

I thgt it was the blade & changed it. No use. Then one day i rubbed my finger on the glass.. the same kind of streaks form... similar to the one made by the wiper blade. the steak/smudge like evaporates in like 2 sec... if the wiper is no making any more wipes..

I cleaned the glass, put rainx etc... still i have this annoying issue esp when driving at night.. the streaks are a pain against opposing lights...

what should I do?

Try washing the windshield with ammonia in water. Cleans off everything! And it's a liquid, so it can't scratch anything. It dries thoroughly, too. Use it to wipe off the wiper blades, too. For an added bonus, it smells great!

Mmmmm, I can smell your seal deteriorating from here.

Gee, I said to use some ammonia in water! Not full strength, of course! Add about a cup of ammonia to a gallon of water. You put the stuff on the rag and wash the windshield, you don't dunk the whole car in the stuff!

Another old detailer's trick is to polish the glass with newsprint after the glass is clean. The printer's ink will make the glass sparkle.
