Default Scratched windows

I can't believe how soft the glass is on my A4. We had some frost yesterday morning so I scraped my windows and it caused probably 30 scratches on all my windows. Now everytime I'm driving all I can concentrate on are those darn scratches.

Anyway does anyone know of a way to fix them? Maybe those dent pulling places?

take a look at this, you should be able to fix it pretty easily.

I can totally relate to the soft glass, I rolled the windows down with dust on them and scratched all four of the side windows. Most noticably the back two though. I use rainx on my windows for the occasional rainstorm... does not help the scratches.

i would check with a local glass shop to remove the scratches on the tempered glass only.

i think it would be a waste to do the front windshield. scratch removal systems are actually removing a portion of the glass and at the same time creating an annoying distortion. to me the distortion is worse than the scratch.

yeah Audi glass is known for being easy to damage. A couple applications of Rainx is a good idea.
