I talked to a guy that has an Ecomobile (predecessor to the Monotracer motorcycle) about how the wipers work on his bike. On the upward, windscreen cleaning wipe of the blades, a light and very dilute solution of dish soap and water sprays on to the surface ahead of the wiper blade on each wipe and no solution sprays on the retracting wipe of the blade. This is so that as much particulate on the windscreen will get lifted/floating to prevent fine scratching. Even fine dust is abrasive. Not sure if the spray is selective, (probably is) but it would seem to be not needed if used while rain was hitting the windscreen.
