I have been reading this thread from the beginning, but still confused
about the problem. When I turn on the spray on our '03 Accord, the
wipers start immediately, so there is no problem of the spray hitting
the wiper blades except occassionally as they wipe.

On my 2004 model there is a delay, maybe 1/2 maybe a second,
I have not measured it. This delay is enough to press the lever
for the water and depress it BEFORE wipers get activated.
So the delay, while short, is significant and the first movement
of the driver side wiper happened when the glass is stil dry.

When you continue spraying water while wipers are moving
then the glass is hit with water and there is no problem...
But when you have a lot of dust/sand on the windshield and
you start the wipers dry you can etch the glass pretty easily
with a single move of the dry wiper.
