Default The wiper blades are leaving a hazy film on my window! Anyone else?
I noticed when I drive towards the sun I have "rays of light" across my windshield. It is like there is an oily film/haze on the outside window. And I had just cleaned the windows!

Note: The windows were cleaned with soap and water. Also the "rays of light" STOP at the spot on the window the wipers do not touch (the small area in the lower left corner of the windshield.)

What should I clean the windshield wipers and windshield with? Any tips? Should I ask Audi for new wiper inserts?

Default wash the actual blade with soapy water as well
Maybe it's some kind of "protectant" that ships on the blades to protect their "rubberiness."

PhD in chemistry, out...

Actually, the car ships with special shipping wiper blades which are removed by your dealer.

Any products that can be sprayed onto your windshield/windows to prevent morning fogging/hazing?
