Windshields get dirty a lot because they experience contact from both inside and outside the car. On the inside, they can get dirty due to fingerprints and eatables and on the outside they can get blemished due to dirt, dust, and other environmental contaminants.
Whatever the cause, a dirty windshield is dangerous and needs to be cleaned on a regular basis.
