Hairline Scratches in Windshield (How do you get rid of them?)

I just got a couple of hairline scratches on my windshield today. They are just hairline, they can't even be felt if you run your finger across them. Is there a way to get rid of them? If so how?
 
Usually not. I've tried to remove some very light scratches from my windshield, but to no avail. IIRC, there is a glass polish that you can use with a rotary to remove scratches, but it's not for just anyone. I prefer to just prevent scratches as best I can, and leave it at that. If there are some that pop up here and there, I just live with them.
 
The only glass polish for scratches I can think of is from Eastwood. I've heard mixed reviews as to its efficacy.

The Diamondite stuff is supposed to help reduce (fill) them, but I haven't managed that myself.
 
You could try the Eastwood stuff (polish and special pad for rotary) but I'd sure be careful to keep the polish from slinging onto your paint. I just live with them until they really bug me and then I get a new windshield.
 
you could try the NICSAND glass polishing pads available on EBAY- for $15 its worth a shot- the scratch removing pads work suprisingly well
