Default Clouded Windows!

I'm about two thin threads away from replacing my driver and passenger windows. It's really hard to see out of them in the morning, because they are scratched/clouded and the morning dew gets in there, making it almost impossible to see out of.

Until I can afford the $606 to replace them, does anyone have any suggestions for maybe helping clearing up this problem a little bit? I've read threads on polishing, but I'm not sure how much this would help me.

The scratches aren't deep scratches and I don't think the clouds are from scratching, just aging.

Any tips/tricks would be greatly appreciated; I'm not a glass man, so I don't really know too much about the subject I usually just hit 'em with the Invisible Glass on a newspaper.

Thanks in advance for any and all help!

Try buffing them with a good glass polish. I have had some pretty good success removing super minor scratches with Zaino's glass polish and my rotary.
