Scratches on a glass

I have no idea how, but I noticed yesterday fine scratches on my windshield.
Is there anything I can use to make them disappear?

if it is a real fine scratch, not the ones you can feel, try using toothPASTE, not the gel kind, and buff away...or I heard mixing vinegar and dry mustard and make into a paste and then buff...try it...

Marko, I've got them too.
No idea how did they get there. Let me know if you manage to get rid of them.
Here is my thread from couple of months ago

I think that I figured out how those scratches got there. I was washing my windshield after a long trip trying to remove dead bugs (or what was left of them) that were badly glued and I was using that small abrasive sponge for dish washing. I cannot think of anything else and at the same time cannot believe that windshield is so scratch nonresistant. And yes it is exactly what you described in your previous post Kirill.
BTW, thanks SinnedTL I am going to try toothpaste but it doesn’t look like there is a solution.

Same with me - it's hard to beleive that our windshield glass in so soft and non scratch resistant like plastic.
I mentioned this once to the dealer on my last appointment but of course they said that this is normal wear.
