Default Windshield scratch repair???

Well I've got one of those famous idiot scratches on my windshield. You know the one where someone runs the wipers with either no wipers on or bad wipers. The scratch was there when I bought it and a new windshield is pretty big $ so I was wandering if there is a way to fix it???

If the scratch is deep enouhg to catch your fingernail as you drag across it, it is too deep to polish....to polish it that deep would just cause a distortion. Most w/s wiper scratches are of this variety. :(
