Windscreen scratches

Don't know if any of you have used this for polishing scratches out of your windscreen. My wife picked up an 8 oz. bottle of the #2 at the Harley shop. I ordered 8 oz. bottles of the #1 and #3 from the skygeek site for $14 which includes shipping. The #2 works on fine scratches, #3 for heavy scratches, and the #1 is the finish polish.

Have some. Hand polishing doesn't seem to be effective. Have been looking for a small buffer.
No luck on cheap. any ideas? have old face shields to practice on. don't really know what I'm doing anyway.

Skeeter, I developed scratched I guess from dirt between the big and sub screens. I raised my screen all the way up and had to lower the sub screen. Must have been some grime between the two and scratched both. I haven't used the Novus on those spots yet. I'm waiting for the #3 and #1 to come in before I pull the screen and disassemble. I did try the #2 on the upper screen and loved the crystal clear and shiny results. I'm anxious to work on the scratches. I have an orbital buffer I use on my truck but it is too big for the sub screen. Don't have any small buffer besides my high speed 4.5". Too fast, it would burn the screen.

I have tried polishing compound in a bottle by hand with minimal results. It would seem to me that if I tried my variable speed drill with a buffing head that that would do the job. Presently, I have a Premeux fairing on order and I will save my windshield and try buffing out the fine swirls as a winter project.
