That seems like it would be overly agressive and could scratch the windshield. Some chattering would be better than a hazing that would make it difficult to see through when you have any glare from the sun-
I don't know if you tried the Rain-X before you had the chatter problem, but I've found it actually caused chattering when I put it on in the past, because it allows the wipers to wipe away the lubricating film of water on the first pass, and essentially gets a dry wipe on the return. If you use it, you have to religiously reapply it so that you don't need to use the wipers. I only use it on fixed glass like the rear and sides, which don't involve the wipers. It's tough to remove once you start using it too-
Maybe try getting any residue off the windshield with the bon ami and a cloth, rather than steel wool, and polish with newspaper. Some good glass cleaner may be worth a try also, if it still has a problem. Does the water appear to bead up on the windshield when you hose it down?
