1993 Nissan Altima 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Manual 103,00 miles

I had this car for 2 months (love it) The windshield on the outside portion has streaking when wet. When wiping the glass, you can see steaking appear but disappears when dry. When it is raining and dark, the streaks make it very difficult to see esp when another vehicle is coming towards me with headlights on. I have tried regualr cleaners, vinager, and amonia. The sreaks remain. I had one person suggest "coke" (soda) i have not tried that. I know the car sat for a while and i am not sure of the environment it was in. Other people tell me they have some of that also but not all over the windshield. Can u please council me on what to use on the windshield to take the streaking away. I also have diff in direct sun, early in the am. It seems this is when there is more moisture, and noisture is what brings out the streaks.
Thank you

You need any glass cleaner and a very fine steel wool (you can get this at auto part store or paint store). Spray your windshield with the glass cleaner and scrub the glass with the steel wool. Not too hard. Wipe the glass with paper towel.

Add a few drops of dish washing soap into a small bucket (0.5 - 1 gallon) of water (no bubbles), and now wash the glass with the soapy solution with new paper towel. With new paper towel, wipe until dry.
