Maybe
1. Clean out your wash fluid and replace
2. Possible it was oil/diesel thrown up from road

1. Don't drive in the rain.

2. If it rains, don't use the wipers. They are useless.

3. See 1.

For any genuine smudge sufferers I would do the exact opposite to Andrew - i.e. drive in rain more and use the wipers more. I remember borrowing Angus' silver FHC a few years ago and by the time I gave it back at the end of the week the wipers had bedded in nicely and cleaned the glass. I've had the same on on my 2-wiper S3 and three wiper S2 on wet European trips

:yeahthat:

Also, I've improved the wiping on my screen by using the uprated wiper arms available at SNGB. They press the blades to the screen better.
