You can remove them with buffing compound but I believe results will vary based on the severity of the scratch itself. I would talk to a custom glass shop if you have one near by. Be sure to wash out any compound thoroughly if you end up using some.

Thanks, they are a little deep so i was thinking something similar to a windscreen repair unit filling the gaps with resin but its probably best speaking to a pro
