If the 'Glass' is acrylic it can be polished with a metal polish like
Brasso. If it is Glass then doing a Google search came up with a couple of
possibles:

Good luck

and I replied:

FME, only with a lot of hard work...and luck. I bought some stuff to
do this, and i the end I gave up and replaced the widnshield. I could
get improvement, but never really good visibility. I spent about 2
hours in a small area, to test the idea.

If it's really glass ,then forget it.

Easier to just replace it. Trying to buff out scratches in glass will
be damm near impossible, and if it's acrylic, you'll have to go
through many steps to buff them out then get it clear again. I guess
the short answer is "no".

time between 3 layers of glass/epoxy?? - I may have to lay up three layers of epoxy/glass. I think I remember that one should not let 24 hours go between layers. If 24 hours goes by ( or maybe some other relatively short time frame) then 'each layer must be sanded, due to "waxing"...?...
