What would be the best way to remove these semi-deep scratches. I`m able to feel them with my finger tips. This is on Miata hard top glass.

Cerium Oxide? Never used this before - is that strong enough? Is wet sanding glass possible?

I have a Flex DA polisher, Compound, polish, etc...

Have you checked around to see how much you can get a glass guy to replace it. I would do that first. The consensus from people who have polished out scratches is you`re looking at hours to possibly correct it.

The Carpro system is the only way that I know to proceed, otherwise.
 
My 2 cents: I`ve tried carpro rayon pad+glass polish (ceriglass)on my rear hatch... Spent a solid 20min and I didn`t get the results I wanted, aka, perfectly clear glass. Sure the water stains and any protection I had on the glass was gone, but that`s it . Yes I could have tried it longer, but it didn`t seem worth it at the time. I would also say look into glass replacement option first.

Years ago I removed really nasty wiper scratches on the wife`s Camaro windshield with this kit from Eastwood. It worked extremely well with no final distortion and I still have a ton of the cerium oxide left over. Cerium oxide is used to polish telescope lenses so it works on all types of glass.
Would I buy it again? Yup.
Here`s the link to the kit I bought but I bet Amazon/Ebay has cheaper versions:

Alright, thanks for all the input! Replacing the glass didn`t even cross my mind, lol. But I`ll look into now.
