You need a glass repair kit. Go to a local car parts store and get one. It's a tedious process to do.

Eeeek, Darlene. Scratches on windshields are tricky as scratches can cause them to crack.

I found a suggestion at Popular Mechanics.

Quote:
There are two ways to address light scratches in glass. The easiest is to fill the scratches with an acrylic scratch remover, which is applied as a liquid and dries hard and transparent, hiding the damage by filling the scratches chemically. For deeper scratches, the most popular fix is buffing the glass with cerium oxide, a popular glass, ceramic and metal polish with very low abrasiveness—it's widely used in jewelry and ceramics. Add water to the fine powder and make a slurry the consistency of Elmer's Glue, then cover the damaged areas with the paste. Using a drill with a hard rubber polishing wheel attached, apply firm pressure to slowly grind the surface smooth. To make things a bit easier, mark the location of the scratch on the other side of the glass so you can keep track of where you should be working. It may take a while, but keep the paste moist and add more cerium oxide as needed, and the result will be a smooth, scratch-free surface.


I don't think these can be done in the next couple of hours though. luck

Tedious. It is not an easy process and requires patience. I've done it in the summer never in the winter so hopefully the cold won't hinder the process.

L4L, yup, that's what the kits have. It does work, but it is a painstakingly slow process.
