Removing scratches from a car window

I've just changed my car and have noticed that one of the windows has lots of scratches on it - it looks like someone has cleaned it with wire wool!

Any idea how I can get rid of them?

Scratches on glass can be removed by using a progression of finer abrasives.
If you think wire wool was used originally I would suggest you start with a brillo pad and water and go over the affected area - give it a good scrubbing. Clean that off and repeat the scrub this time using Brasso metal polish. clean the area again and use a finer abrasive such as silver polish, carry on the process useing finer and finer abrasives such as jewellers rouge. It should eventually polish up like new.

Quicker still. Go to a scrap yard and see if they have one. It shouldn`t cost much.

I hadn't thought of that - thanks

Mind you, I've got electric windows and I've never replaced glass before - is it as tricky as I'm suspecting?
