1. A system for cleaning light scattering film from the interior of a windshield of a vehicle, comprising: a linear magnetic component comprising a material for cleaning a windshield's interior surface; at least two spherical rare earth magnets at a first end and a second end of said linear magnetic component, said linear magnetic component positionable in a first position on the interior surface of the windshield, wherein the at least two spherical rare earth magnets travel along the interior surface of the windshield; a second plurality of rare earth magnetic members adapted to be connected to a wiper assembly of the vehicle located on an exterior of said windshield; said at least two spherical rare earth magnets positioned on the interior side of said windshield and opposite said second plurality of rare earth magnetic members, such that when said second plurality of rare earth magnetic members are moved, said at least two spherical rare earth magnets move simultaneously therewith, with magnetic forces alone between said linear magnetic component and said second plurality of rare earth magnetic members on the exterior of the windshield compelling the linear magnetic component to travel across the interior of the windshield; wherein said material for cleaning the interior surface of the windshield comprises at least one of cloth materials, disposable wipes, squeegee blades, and sponges; and wherein the second plurality of rare earth magnets comprises one of a clip-on or slip-on mechanism that operably associates with the wiper assembly.
