I clean with lots of water, and my bare hand. That way I can feel anything

Despite using windshield cleaning spray and lint-free, cloth wipes

to clean aircraft windshields, I may have scratched my windshield in
several spots. Not large scratches, but these appear to be those small
ones that will show up when the sun shines through. Damn! It was a
relatively new windshield for the Bonanza, too.

I use the soft paper shop towels and the plastic windshield
cleaner...and scrub like the devil. In 12 years I ain't scratched it
yet. Although I do keep a can of polish around just-in-case.

When leaving Osh the one year when it was so dry it took two pails of
water to get the mud off the windshield and it still left ridges of
mud behind when I first wiped it.

When I started the engine you could only see about a third of the way
down the row of airplanes due to the dust cloud.

What do you use to clean your windshields (especially now that bug season
is here in the Northern Hemisphere)? Do you have a preferred procedure?

Are there products/procedures that will reduce or eliminate the appearance
of these small scratches?
