Glass scratches

Is there anyway to remove hairline glass scratches off windshields or windows? I think maybe a snowbrush did it to my gf's car although she doesn't remember using one. In some spots it looks like someone clawed the top corner of the windscreen.

So I go out to give my Fit a good early spring wash and notice scratches all over my back hatch glass (also the rear window washer thing is gone!) ... seems my dear hubby scratched it with his scraper and must have tapped into the sprayer as well ... what's weird is that there are no scratches on any of the other glass (front or sides) and he scrapes all the windows ...not just the back one ... I've got a window washer sprayer thing on order ... not sure what to do about the scratches ... it was most annoying tonight when a big truck was behind me ... those headlights really played up the scratches

I've used Griot's Garage Glass Polish with good results. I used it with my porter cable buffer. Buy both the regular and fine, start with the fine and if you're not happy use the regular.

You should be able to do it by hand with an orange polishing pad.
