What would you clean it with? Normal ammonia based glass cleaner? Or a clay bar?

The wax solution, (God knows what it actually is), is probably the problem. You don't need that on your car, just keep it reasonably clean and park it in a garage if possible. If you don't have a garage, park in the shade if it's hot and sunny there but not under a tree that drops anything.
I'd say that the wiper blades are probably fine, even if they are one year old. If they have any build-up of anything on them, wipe the rubber blades with vinegar or Windex. The absolute best thing to clean glass that has a waxy or oily film on it is Bon Ami. It's a powdered cleaner for glassware dishes and it's sold everywhere in the U.S. It will not scratch glass but it's a mild abrasive powder. Use it with a soft sponge,
do not ever use a scotch brand or other "scrubby sponge" on glass. The abrasive pad will absolutely scratch the heck out of glass and ruin a windshield. My poor mom found this out the hard way trying to clean dead bugs off of her w/s once.
Bon Ami, (comes in a cylindrical box like Comet or Ajax), and a sof sponge plus a little water gets glass amazingly clean. Clean the wiper blades. Thank me later.
