I'd suggest new windscreen on your insurance lol
Insurance policies don't usually cover cosmetic damage. I would never encourage someone to willfully damage their windscreen but the reality is nobody checks. For every windscreen company bending the rules to suit them, there will always be a punter ready to help them out with a spurious claim.

Over the past couple of months, I've noticed scratches on my windscreen, especially around the area where my wipers wipe. I didn't think much of it at the time as I thought It was just a dirty windscreen with bad wipers. Today I actually had a good look at it.
Cleaned and clay barred the windscreen as well as used a glass "polish" on it. The scratches were still there.
So my question is, what should I use to reduce or even remove the scratches?
I don't want to use cerium oxide as I wouldn't know what I would be doing.
Could a scratch remover work such as t-cut for example?
Since the scratches are not that deep, could I use some sort of sealant to 'fill in' the scratches such as rain-x. I won't be using rain-x as I'm not a fan of it if anyone could recommend some good nano-ceramic sealant that would be much appreciated.
I want to try all the possibilities before I throw a rock at my windscreen and get it replaced.

If you're serious about having a proper go, I would either use the correct products/method or pay someone else to do it.
