When I bought my XL-7, six months ago it came with a scratch on the windshield wich was made by something that got stuck on the wiper..........any way long story short I made them change the windshield, but the car was new.
How old is your car?
If it is not deep maybe you can try Autoglym glass polish, you will need a PC, and a lot of experience with it.

Sounds pretty bad. A retail glass polish may not do the trick, but you could try it at your own discretion. It's not hard to use.
The alternative is to take it to a glass shop and ask if it can be polished out with professional methods/materials. If they shake their head then, then it's replacement time...

Unfortunately, this question gets asked a lot. (I say "unfortunately" only because it's a sad problem to have.) You can use the search engine to find out the various solutions that have been suggested/tried. That'll give you more input than you'll get in any single thread. You might try this search.
Me, I have deep, DEEP scratches (seriously obvious, but not so deep you can feel them with a fingernail) on the '70 VW we're restoring. I've tried the Zaino Glass Polish with a PC. No effect. Ditto for 0000 steel wool and Bon Ami.
As I said before, take a look at other threads on this topic. Sometimes, you may need to decide to take the "I have nothing more to lose" approach -- which is where I am with the Ghia, but you may not be.
And good luck!
