Default Help: how to remove scratches from glass

I was in a hurry one day and tried to wipe down the inside of my window with a dry cloth and it left some scratches. They're not bad, but noticeable. What is a good product I can try to buff them out?

you can try any polish you have on hand to try to remove them.

Maybe Zaino Glass Polish. If the scratches are not deep enough th feel with your fingernail Zaino will take them out.

I agree, the criteria is if you can catch a nail on it, if so, you won't able to take it out with hand polishing and power polishing with sufficient grit to take it out will leave optical distortion and keep you busy for a while.

An FYI for everyone, if you are working on someone else's car, be careful that the windshield may have a plastic coating on the interior side, not sure what other cars they do this on, but my 2003 BMW 3 series has it and it has to be treated very gently, it's a lot softer than glass.
