Hmmm - I'm sure a glass tech will be able to answer better than me, but if you start polishing (wearing) glass away it could become 'lens like' which could distort things.

Again i'm no glass expert but from what ive seen/heard its much better to leave these things to the pro's, I know there are a couple on here so no doubt they will be along shortly to answer your question!

Unless it's a rare car where the glass is really expensive the general rule is that it's cheaper to just get it replaced with the £75 excess or whatever you pay as opposed to paying someone for their time to polish it as it's one of the hardest surfaces to polish scratches out of and takes a long time.

I agree but it's not a deep scratch and not in eyeline, I have had a bad exp with complex windscreen swaps and I'm keen to avoid it.

if you are able to post a picture of it then i might be able to give you an opinion. both the wider extent of the arc and the up close detail if possible. In order to get the camera to focus on the scratch put something next to it or else the rangefinder will just go throught the glass
