Some times you can get dirt and other debris in the wire blades and it will put small scratches in the glass.. This was talked about a while ago.... I have removed this in the past from windsheilds. all you need is the compound and a drill
Buff the compound on and buff off. this will remove the small grit scratches.
Here is the stuff you can buy it's kinda pricy for a small amount but it works..

Every windshield will develop fine scratches that you can see when the sun hits the glass right. But it's true that some windshield seem more prone to scratching than others -- softer glass.
And running the wipers dry (or nearly dry) is a surefire way to scratch the glass, no matter what you say.
