The Eastwood Company -- www.eastwoodcompany.com (800-345-1178) sell glass
polishing compound and a glass polishing wheel, with which I had good
results removing a windshield wiper scratch.

Can mild scratches be removed from windshields too? Or are there glass
shops which can spruce up the window glass somewhat?  I have some
"haze" on my windshield under the sweep of the wipers, presumably
from having grit rubbed across the glass by wiper action.
