Default Window scratch

I was removing the AWD sticker from the back window over the weekend (it was faded and I prefer a non-stickered look anyway) and it looks as if the tool I used to get under the sticky stuff has scratched my window I was using an ice scraper but very gently so I don't understand why it has scratched? Is there any way of removing scratches from glass? I've tried glass t-cut but that has done nothing other than make my arm ache. They aren't that many but now I know they are there it's quite annoying!

Help.

Why don't you disguise it by putting a sticker over the top? If you can see the scratches without getting close then they are probably too deep for anything to be effective

I'm not a sticker fan though The scratch isn't too large, just would have been nice to get rid of it if possible. Oh well.

try brasso mate, it works on watch faces by scratching the whole thing very slightly so the scratches disappear if that makes sense.

Just be gentle with it!!!

There are several windscreen repair companys that also do scratch removal. I used a local firm (forgot the name) to remove scratches in my rear passenger window caused by my dent removal man (forgot to put the plastic bit down the window before using the tool). It cost about £30 to have the scratches taken out and it looked as good as new afterwards.
