A number of months ago there was a writeup in Cars and Parts on a kit to remove scratches. There are limits to how far you can go because you end up actually removing some material and at some point it affects the optics.

If they aren't deep they can be removed without creating a fish eye lens. I posted how a year or so ago. A search may turn that thread up. Unless you have an expensive or impossible to find windshield it would probably be better to replace it.

I bought some jewelers rouge and it cleaned up my side windows pretty well. It was sold at Home Depot (Ryobi) polishing compounds in the tool section $4.00. Checker also sells a compound on a cooton wool type of product for polishing chrome wheels that works good. Name escapes my old brain at the moment.
