Streaky windshield after washing o r rain – Mini Cooper specific problem

After washing my Mini Cooper o r during rainfall, the windshield often has streaks that reduce visibility. I’m using standard cleaning solutions and water, but it doesn’t seem effective. Is this a common issue with Mini Cooper windshields in Pakistan due to their coating o r glass quality? What cleaning methods, wiper blades, o r treatments can help avoid streaks and ensure clear visibility?
