make sure you have good rubbers (not just new, but good quality)
make sure your blade is the correct shape
make sure your windscreen is in good condition
use rainx

Supercheap sometimes does deals where you can get Rainx interior and exterior for the price of one bottle.
Also, RainX is amazing, has rendered my wipers useless. Infact, wipers make the problem worst sometimes lol.

Nothing beats recirc/window/ac for clearing your front screen.
