Removing window scratches

    I have been sanding down our wooden frame windows, which were left in a shocking state by the previous owner.. As I have had to strip them right back to untainted bear wood (they had never been varnished) I have had to sand them quiet agressively.. As a result, there are a couple of spot where I glanced the glass and left scratches (not major, but if they can be fixed why not)..

    Is there any tried and trusted method of removing those scratches and buffing them out? I was thinking of checking car restoration sites ect.

    any ideas? thanks.

    Car glass is all plastic so their schemes wont apply to window glass.

    Windscreen glass is laminated in the middle, not the outside.

    Try car polish, may improve it a little

    I remember hearing once that Brasso can be used to polish scratches out of the face of watches - no reason why it wouldn't work just as well on windows I'd have thought (that's if it works at all).
