I have a nephew who has a few scratches on his SG wind shield from installation asked me the same thing. I thought, (but have never tried it), that maybe those polishing kits for head light lenses might be worth a shot...

Novus is NOT to be used on Lexan/Polycarbonate.
"Novus #3 has a higher abrasive solution for removing or reducing the toughest scratches on acrylic plastics. It must be followed with Novus #2 to restore the best luster. May be used on convertible windows as well. Not for use on Lexan polycarbonate."

Most shields are polycarb.
Don't use that on polycarb shields.

I have a Lexan windshield and Novus works great. I only use #2 to take the light scratches out. Unfortunately, Lexan is softer than acyclic (the best W/S material) so I have to use it every few rides. It does a good job keeping it clear and scratch free. I'll make sure I get an acrylic one next time!

I've used Maguiars PlastX on a Memphis Shades windshield in the past and it worked fairly well, easy to find at walmart or automotive store.

If they're shallow,lemon pledge will do wonders(I'm not joking!)
I used it on the windows of my soft top Jeep for years!
It makes them look new!
Now I use it on my Harley with excellent results.
Their are a few other threads about it
