Question Buffing scratches from glass

I got my windows tinted a while back and the bottom half is mirrored so the scratches on the outside of the glass REALLY stand out now. Most Camaroes and other cars for that matter I see have these from being rolled up and down. I was just wondering if there was some kind of glass buffing kit on the market that a guy could use to lessen them..
Anybody Know????

there is a product that does help it called chromium something or another, I can't remember the name at the moment, but I will look it up. I have heard many people use toothpaste-believe it or not!, I have yet to try, but maybe it does work. A general rule of thumb, is if you can feel the scratches with your finger nail, where they kinda get stuck, then they canot be removed, other can be. You must be careful if you use a wheel also, because if you go to deep to try and remove deep ones, you will distort your window.

Triple Zero (000) steel wool works great on glass. Also just try compound. I do agree, if you can feel it, it ain't goin nowhere.

Question

I have a bunch of little specks on my windshield. It's DANGEROUS in the direct sunlight! Would these things work? I have a windshield glass polishing compound, but that didn't work
