Default scratches in t-top and windshield

just curious if anyone knows how to get 3M scratch pad scratches out of my glass......i had dried overspray on my car from my apt. buildings being painted and i got it off the paint with a claybar.....but for some reason it wouldn't come off the glass and i got a little "happy" with the scratch pad and i have some really shitty looking scratches on passenger side of windshield and the t-top on the same side and no clue how to get rid of them, any suggestions???

Next time use steel wool, it doesn't harm glass. Are they like deep gouges or just surface scratches? Might try taking it to one of those windsheild repair booths if they have them down there.

I got a scratch remover kit from JC Whitney and it worked pretty well on some relatively deep scratches I had in my windshield. It is a mess and very time consuming, but it will improve.

i heard from somewhere that there is some sort of paste that bonds to the glass, all you have to do is wipe it off or something, then bam smooth surface
