Oh dear. Just wipe the wiper blades down. Dust and other particulate matter builds up along the wipers as you use them, which doesn't allow for a smooth wipe whenever you use them. I had that problem when I got my car off the lot. Just wiped it down with a wet cloth. Haven't had an issue since.
On the other hand, if your wipers were old, then they probably needed to be replaced. If you constantly park your car outside in hot weather, then the rubber might crack and then cause the wipers to not perform so well. (In that case it's good that you replaced them)

I think I got some car wax dust on my windshield when it started making a horrible noise.
Seems that I tried to get it off with windex and it didn't work.
Got a rock in the windshield and had the glass replaced. New glass very quiet so it must have been that wax.
I didn't intentionally put wax on the glass and wonder if it blew up from the hood or maybe came off the roof when washing.

I've had decent luck with Bon Ami on my BMW's and would probably try it on my MB.
