2018 Windshield Question
What's up guys,
So, ever since I got my truck I can't seem to get my Windshield to wipe smooth and clear when it Rains. It seems to have some sort of "roughness" to it when I run my finger meaning finger does not slide easily. I have ran a razor blade on windshield, cleaned my blades, used every chemical suggested but I still get streaks.
Could it be my OEM blades are just shot? Trucks only 5 months old. They feel fine.
Here's some pics before and after I wiped off some morning due this morning.

I clay bared my windshield the other day and it made a big difference, but not sure if it would make much more of a difference than a razor blade..

Polish the glass. Get a polishing compound made for glass. Did mine recently and the difference is night and day. I will do it again before winter.

I had to clay bar mine as well. I didn't have an issue with wipers not functioning well, but I could never seem to get it clean. Always had streaks/fogginess to it. I cleaned the inside and outside and it seems a lot better now. In addition a friend at work swears by RainX. It's been around forever but I never considered it until recently.
PS- SiriusXM Channel 34 (Lithium) is what I listen to 99% of the time, until they play Dave Matthews Band then I change it.
