I think that there are ways to decrease the visibility (don't kill your wife just yet
)... let me do a little bit of research on it as I know it's been talked about here and over on autopia a few times... I'll try to get back with you later tonight.RP

There may be a way to polish it out a bit. It might not remove the scratches completely but it would make it less noticeable.
Call a couple of local glass shops and ask.Theres a compound Ive used before on glass tables and such, however the name escapes me at the moment. Ill check tuesday when I go to work.Also got to make sure it can be done to automotive glass.Ill let you know.
Just be aware that if you call an auto glass shop they will try to sell you a new window more than likely. they probably wont tell you any alternative way to save your glass.

Depending on how deep the scratches are, there are a number of products that can help in the removal of the scratches. They have glass polishing kits that come with an attachment for a drill and also have the compounds you need to remove the scratches. Most of them range from $10-$35. Here is a link to one of them:

If it's too deep I don't know if there's much hope, but for under $20 it's worth a shot and I'm sure you'll at least like the outcome regardless.
