    saw it this week,the sun was out while driving home from work,it's the
    wipers!,is there such a thing as crappy glass?.I don't buy into that
    "particles on the blades when dry",this is only a 2003 Ion w/8400 miles.

    Some times you can get dirt and other debris in the wire blades and it will
    put small scratches in the glass.. This was talked about a while ago.... I
    have removed this in the past from windsheilds. all you need is the compound
    and a drill

    Buff the compound on and buff off. this will remove the small grit
    scratches.

    Here is the stuff you can buy it's kinda pricy for a small amount but it
    works..

    Every windshield will develop fine scratches that you can see when
    the sun hits the glass right. But it's true that some windshield
    seem more prone to scratching than others -- softer glass.

    And running the wipers dry (or nearly dry) is a surefire way to
    scratch the glass, no matter what you say.
