today i had my friend polished my windshield for me and coated it with ceramic coating spray.

since day 1 of ownership my windshield had been a mess. Every time it rains water just smear around on the windshield, and wipers worked for the first few days. Then it just went down hill from there: every time I used wipers the up stroke cleans everything up and down stroke makes lots of streaks to the point that I can barely see. I did Rain-X on the windshield once within the first month (Dec, 2022) and with recent rainstorms it just wore off.
Monday night when I got off work at midnight I used the break between rain to emergency apply a coating of Rain-X, and this time it only lasted half a day because of wrong weather condition. I had enough of this so I asked my friend (who's a certified detailer) to polish my windshield for me today. Hopefully this fixes the problem.
I'm guessing that during the transportation process a film of oil/ grease/ dirt somehow got onto my windshield and stayed, and since the dealer didn't wash my truck before sending it to me whatever was coated stayed. So, for a fresh start, I also installed a pair of Scrublades. I've heard good things about them and Cory (5thgen.ram) loved his, so I'm giving them a shot.
