Default Removing scratches in glass

Can anyone recommend a product or method for removing some light scratching on my side window glass?
Thanks

Jewellers Rouge, is I believe the tried and tested method.......some people also recommend toothpaste...

Classics suffer badly from this due to window internals design...if it's bad a replacement window from a breaker might be a better option, as glass is notoriously difficult to correct

A machine polisher, start with a light compound and work up until you find the compound that works.

Obviously be very careful, go at it too aggressive and you can add in more scratches than you remove

This kit worked a treat. Managed to remove a deep wiper scratch with ease.
