Default removing scuffs from windshields

Has anyone had luck with removing scratches, or should I say scuffs from the windshields? I have a spare Heritage windshield that has a small scuff in it and I would like to clean it up, but I do not want to mess up the coating on the windshield.

Novis 3 works for minor scratches and scuffs if that doesnt work anything more abrasive would ruin the wind shield. Youshould be able topick it up at your harley dealer.
