To get rid of scratches on windshields, Micromesh is the way to go. It is
a lot of work to go though the procedure, but it really works. The canopy
on my Pitts dropped onto the tarmac one time and was badly scratched with
fairly deep scratches. I worked them out with Micromesh and it was as
good as new after a couple of 8-hour days working with the different
grades of polish. I got it from Aircraft Spruce as I remember, I am sure
you can find it at different aviation supply houses.

Despite using windshield cleaning spray and lint-free, cloth wipes designed
to clean aircraft windshields, I may have scratched my windshield in
several spots. Not large scratches, but these appear to be those small
ones that will show up when the sun shines through. Damn! It was a
relatively new windshield for the Bonanza, too.

What do you use to clean your windshields (especially now that bug season
is here in the Northern Hemisphere)? Do you have a preferred procedure?

Are there products/procedures that will reduce or eliminate the appearance
of these small scratches?
