Depends on how deep they are, but there's scratch repair kits on ebay with all the necessary bits, you've only to supply the water and drill.
Alternatively, jewellers' rouge and the same high density felt drill attachment.

toothpaste will also remove scratches from glass. but watch what you're doing as it's very abraisive. i used this to sort out the all too common scratches on the front door glass on my impreza.

Have tried toothpaste seems to have some effect will have to put a bit more elbow grease to it or buy some dearer toothpaste.
