Default Scratched Glass

My windshield wiper scratched my glass when the rubber slid off a little. Can I repair this with sandpaper or any other way? My windshield is in good shape otherwise.

I think the Eastwood Co. sells a glass polishing kit that would probably work for you.

If you can't catch the scratch with your fingernail , it will rub out using the eastwood kit, but just take your time so you don't overheat the glass or it will crack. Buff a little while checking with your hand to make sure it is not getting hot. TAKE YOUR TIME !

A new windshield is cheap...and installed at your home. You also get to inspect the birdcage.
