Default can windshield glass scratches be fixed?

I had to change my fuse box today. I changed it, it was all good. So I was just testing everything to make it all worked, and my dumb *** turned the wipers on, on my dry windsheild. Needless to say I put a few scratches in it. Is there and product that can help me out? Thanks guys.

Heres a random pic for views; (not my car)

if it's not real deep you can buff it out yourself with some buffing compound and a clean rag. just make sure it is the right grit.

thanks for the tips guys. and to clear things up, the rubber wiper blade itself scratched the windsheild. the windsheild was dry, and obviously there was dirt or something on the blade. Its deff. scratched, not just a mark. I washed it and they are still there. i will look into some products and post an update. thanks again for everyones help.

sometimes when u have old windshield wipers, and the rubber dries out...it can leave surface scratches on ur windshield, or maybe if a piece of the rubber falls off
