Word of experience here. Bon Ami works awesome for windows, but make damned sure you get the right one. A few years back they reformulated it, adding in an abrasive. There's still an old variant available, along with the new one. Check if it says it will scratch glass or not, or if it says do not use on glass. The ones that don't say it should be fine.
I've had hit or miss luck on blades over the years as well, even on brand new windshields. Still haven't found the magic bullet.
Lol whoops... Yeah mine definitely said no glass... but still worked great (no scratches so to speak, i didn't scrub that hard in fear. It did make the windshield smooth, i'd say it's the same as 0000 gauge steel wool...
I wouldn't recommend it though, since there's a non-abrasive variant, like Gary said.
I think it's just the inherent design of volvo's crappy system. The motor is too slow as well, and the cables stretch out. I had a hell of a time trying to tighten up the drivers side without taking all the other stuff out. a short, tiny flat blade screwdriver should've done the trick, dash in.
I hate that I care so much about this, but wipers are great when they work.
