Default Scratches in Glass

Again, anyone have issues with scratches in the glass of their si? used a regular plastic scraper after the last big storm and now it looks like someone ran a razor blade a million times across my shiznit
or are there any products/resins to remove these scratches?
Fighting with the dealership to replace both front and rear glass, thats going to take an act of good to get done, however i called a glass expert and he came over inspected the damage and said there is NO WAY, i repeat, NO WAY that i could have caused the damage with an ice scraper.
He suggested that the dealership must have done it on delivery, or during snow removal while the car was on the lot, using a license plate or other makeshift device like that.
He gave me a statement in writing and left his contact info, so i could bring it to the dealer and honda us is telling me to call my insurance company aswell.. i am pissed, nothing with this car has gone right, or the quailty between the EP3 and this hog really dropped off.
Any suggesions??

If its just on the surface I would try a rubbing compund. I have had plastic scrapers scuff the glass before and have been able to remove it.

Like i stated above, the glass scratches are too deep to be buffed out with a compound, they are showing white on the glass. Glass expert stated that i could not have done that with an ice scraper and that the dealership should replace both front and rear glass, he gave me this statement in writing, looking for some helpful info on how to get this done......

Are you sure your scraper didn't drag a bunch of debris around and possibly scratched it up?
