Windshield Treatment Problem

[Yaris Newbie]

Ok, so I got gifted a tube of "Rain Clear" gel by Glass Science and applied it to my windshield as directed. Since I have a pretty heavy prescription (including a prism diopter in them) a clean windshield is super important to me. I had a friend that passed through town that used rain-x on my windshield and I enjoyed it so decieded to try it.

Basically you rub a small amount into your windshield until it disappears (take off any extra with a cloth).

Using my trusty microfibers (after a thorough wash and then extra wash with Automotive Windex) I applied it.

Seemingly perfect from the outside / few feet away. But from the inside it is TERRIBLE. First of all, no matter how many fresh microfibers/applications of windex the haze will not go away. Second, after a trip to town and driving back into the sun I noticed about a thousand pinhead (small) size dots that seem to be embedded in the windshield all over the windshield. Once again, these things are laughing at my windex attempts. It reminds me of my Dad's old truck that he drove to work at a power plant, where the "fly ash" from the plant's smokestacks would put VERY small scratches that you could only see when you drive into the sun and would basically turn the windshield golden/opaque.

Both of these concerns are basically un-noticeable if not driving into the sun but I think I would rather just have a crystal clear windshield and use wipers or MAYBE try rain-x brand instead of all this pain.

What can I do to get back to square one? I haven't tried invisible glass yet but would that do the trick (ie take away the chemicals not just "dirt")?

Thanks
