juniormodeler,
Try dipping it in future floor wax.
If its too deep you may want to try polishing it out, but if they are shallow future should do it.

If the scratches are not too deep, go and get yourself a fingernail buffing board. You can usually find them in the grocery store near the fingernail polish. I've been using these buffing boards for years for just this kind of thing and there work beautifully.

Once the scratches are removed, I highly recommend a coat or two of Future. The resulting improvement to the clarity of the windshield is worth it.

HEY,
If they are thick scratches use a very fine grit sandpaper and then polish it to a picture perfect finish.

Good advice so far. When you dip it into the future, just touch the edges with a paper towel and let it 'wick' away any of the excess. Then set it in a dish and cover it up so no dust gets on it. Let it dry really well, at least a day or two, before handling it. If it neads another coat, you can likely do that within an hour or so...
