So my windshield is completely full of micro scratches from me cleaning it. I take great care of my bike. I just bought it in March and it's in perfect condition. But apparently the windshield can't take being cleaned in the same manner as my helmet's face shield. My helmet is 3 years old and the original face shield has been pummeled by bugs hundreds of times and cleaned with a paper towel and windex. Now the windshield is not all that horrible but when you see it in the sunlight, it's pretty noticeable. This irritates me.
I use meguiars clear plastic polish and clear plastic cleaner and it works great and only takes a couple minutes to do

Don't waste any more of your time cleaning or polishing the windshield. This is not a Harley, no need to make sure your chromes are all polish. Windshield is going to get scratched, your front end is going to be pepper by sand and rocks on the road. LEAVE IT ALONE!
...Let's go ride.

You should never use Windex or any other ammonia based cleaner to clean plastic! Right there is the cause of your scratches. The paper towel probably isn't helping either, but its more the ammonia that causes those scuffs. When we switched to all LCD monitors at work, we had a bunch of people use Windex and now have permanently damaged screens.
