the solution I need isn't for my Disco....or SWMBO'a Jag or the daughters Freelander...
Its for glass in a 1963 Morris Minor that I have imported (from New Zealand)
I dont want )or have need) to change the screen...it isnt insured yet.
but thanks for the sentiment...far from being tight BREXIT - done properly.

A scratch that is not too deep can be polished out with a very fine abrasive and a polishing wheel. The best abrasive polish to use is cerium oxide (glass polishing compound) this is an extremely fine polish and is used by Jewellers to polish stones.
A polishing wheel fitted into a power drill set on a low speed ( less than 1500 rpm) and some cerium oxide should remove the scratch with little effort.
Trying to polish out a scratch can in some cases leave a shiny patch that is more noticeable then the scratch was itself.
Polishing out a scratch works well on a watch face as the whole face can be polished but on a large window or windscreen it could leave a shiny patch!

Polishing out a scratch on a screen that old may cause an issue with the optics of the screen, especially if in the line of your sight when driving.
There are some pro glass polishing kits out there, but are a LOT of work and you need to be able to work a rotary polisher so that you do not make your windscreen look like viewing through the bottom of a beer bottle.
Sorry not too helpful I know, just wanted to point out potential pitfalls of diving in...
