That way any scratches will be in the same direction, not a swirl which causes light to scatter and make visibility worse especially at night looking at other lights.
Also, never, never use the cleaning sponge at a gas station which usually will have other peoples grit from their dirty windshields embedded in it. I clean mine with an ammonia free glass cleaner and wax it with a car wax.
