It`s hard to get scratches out of glass and to do it by hand would be almost impossible unless it isn`t really scratched. You might try a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser and some window cleaner and hope they aren`t really scratches.



If they are scratches then your only hope, short of glass replacement, is something like this:



Eastwood Co. - Glass Polishing Kit Pro (http://www.eastwoodco.com/jump.jsp?itemID=2010&itemType=PRODUCT)



I`m not sure if any glass shops offer that service but you could call around and ask.

This won`t help schybrid, but the whole episode brings up something that doesn`t get mentioned here very often: Today`s auto glass is very different from what auto glass used to be...now it`s got a high non-glass component percentage and it`s not all *that* hard. Stuff that used to work great isn`t safe to do any more.



Regular razor blades are great for some jobs on some glass (just removed the NC inspection sticker from the Denali XL`s windshield with one), but *plastic* razor blades really are a better tool for the job. Not as effective but a whole lot safer. This exact issue is one of the big reasons why companies like AutoInt sell them. And yeah, now I`m thinking that I shoulda used a plastic one even though it woulda taken longer :o
