Wiper streaking/smearing on windshield

[Futuretech]

Noticed my wiper smearing /streaking on the driver side windshield today in Sydney rain, visibility degraded because of it. It didn't came on as soon as I drove out of the garage but appeared soon ish afterwards. Anyone knows how to get rid of it?

Looks like some oil has been kicked up off the road.

Squeegee, soapy water should sort it out. Clean your blades with a soapy rag too.

@Futuretech , it is not strictly necessary when giving the wiper blades a quick clean, but there is a wiper servicing mode which is designed to make them more accessible Controls > Service > Wiper Service Mode.
The blades themselves tend to like a wipe of isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol to get them properly clean if normal car washing isn't enough.

I put 100ml of the following into the fluid reservoir, it works well in cleaning the windscreen with Tesla's low water spray approach.

The Bosch fluid is also very good. Currently on special at Amazon

I'll give it a go and see how it compares to the Bowden's.

I bought the Wurth Rapid Windscreen cleaner on Ebay as after a bit of tapping on the old google machine it seemed likely to be what they use from the factory. I havent been able to use it yet as they topped up my fluid when the car went in for the steering wheel creaking.

I had that same pattern for a while, have since used some Chemical Guys Ammonia free windscreen cleaner and its mostly gone. Had a hunch it was something to do with the ceramic coating they put on, it that gets put on the glass too...
