Hairline scratches on the front windshield

Hey guys, i recently cleaned off most of the hard water spots on my front windshield. The thing is.. i scrubbed too hard on some spots are there are some scratches on the front windshield. Do you guys know of any ways to get rid of, or atleast hide them? Any tips or suggestions would be great, thanks!

That's great news...now the windshield scratches just as easily as the paint job. Brilliant!

I would suggest maybe using whatever it is that windshield repair shops use to fill cracks. Don't know if you could just spread that on to fill up the tiny grooves and help deflect the imperfections that show. Again, just a thought.

Use a buffer and cutting pad with some glass polish.

This isn't uncomnmon in most cars. If you use your wipers often, its going to happen, especially when your window is dirty or dry. If its dry, and you use the wipers, you may as well rub sandpaper across it, from what I'm told.

I don't notice this so much yet, but it doesnt surprise me in the least, considering how poor the paint is.
