Default Windsheild wipers streaking

Accord 2000. I have put in new wiper blades 2 months ago and they
worked well for some time. Now the driver's side wiper leaves a haze.
I don't think it is the blade again. I think there is not enough
pressure in the middle of the wiper arm to clean thoroughly. I was
wondering if Rain X would help. But a quick search through this NG
makes me think that it might be a bad idea in the current snow, salt
and dusty conditions -- I will probably put it on the other windows as
many do.

However, that leaves the problem of Windshield. Is there anything that
will clean it up real good and would make the wipers work better?

The other problem is the wiper fluid jets not hitting the center and
just dribbling out some foamy stuff. Basically I am scared of using
them on a highway because the fluid barely reaches the bottom and the
wiper picks it up and spreads it on the entire windshield without
wiping it clean. I just drove for 2 hours with a dirty windshield and
did not use the stupid washer fluid. It is that bad.

I would look into the washer fluid levels and try to clean the jets in
the afternoon. But please share your experiences with cleaning the
windshield and wipers if you can.

Thanks in advance,
bc
