Nice link, but you did not answer the question. Here it is again:

Question: If you put a liquid on a surface, and subject both to moving
air, will the surface be cooled by the evaporation of the liquid?


Yes. But it has nothing to do with wind chill.
It's called the latent heat of evaporation.

OK. So I used the wrong words. But, the wind *does* mess with the
effectiveness of the windshield liquid.
