Scratched are on Windscreen
Discussion
So there was a big bird poo on the windscreen and it wasn't shifting. The OH, tried the jetwash with no success, and so
"Went in to the garage and used one of those pan scourers you have in there"
Ok, that'll be the 2000 grit scotchbrite pads then.
Now I have a patch about 1 inch square which has scratches deep enough to cause a blurry patch.
So how do I get these scratches out of the window.
I've tried a cloth drill attachment with T-Cut, JML scratch remover, ( yes it was a present and had never been opened previously) and neither has touched it.
What are my options?
PS. More fool me, but I am a fine upstanding citizen and therefore will not accept suggestions of heavy/pointy items and a telephone call to the insurers.

T-Cut:
Op - where are you? The guys I know are in (or work) the Berks, Bucks, Dorset, Lancs, Merseyside, Oxon, Yorkshire areas.
Other than that, I could suggest what polish to use and what equipment to invest in, but for a one-off and what that might cost you, it's prolly better to use a pro IMO.

Glass and windscreen polishing (these are not random guys who happen to have a bit of Jewelers Rouge knocking about; they have the proper equipment and the right products) and they're all guys I know and have used:

For an end of thread tidy up I have been working from home and have not been near any of glassman's contacts. As the car is due back next week, I sourced a glass polishing kit from amazon
1 hour with the kit, a water spray bottle and an 18v drill and the scratches are now reduced to a little bit of a ripple which you have to be looking for and focussing on the glass to notice.
Well worth a shot. No before after pics I'm afraid, very difficult to photograph glass.
