weird... either you wiped something bad on your windshield (probably by means of the wipers) or you are just way too close to the glass... Can you see it when you drive?

I would say just scrub it hard with a rag and soap and water and that 'might' buff it some... but you cant really wax a scratch on glass or you will end up with a white line where the wax is embedded in the scratch.

If you have a high-grade polish and an orbital buffer, it might help...Griot's Garage also makes a glass polish that's supposed to work really well, and it only costs about $15.99

usually a rubbing compound will solve this problem, but it requires skill and risk.

rubbing compound turned my mysterious "looks like something slapped the side of your car and scratched it like a cat" chips into chips surrounded by spiderwebs... oh well...
