I've used the Zaino glass polish with good results....

Z-12 CLEAR-VIEW GLASS POLISH

Finally, a glass cleaner and polish that really works. We have yet to find a stain that it did not remove. Formulated with modified cleaners and mild abrasives, that deep cleans and polishes all glass surfaces. Removes acid rain, water spots, road film, stubborn stains, annoying interior glass film and fine to medium scratches. This product will remove plasticizing (the hazy film that attaches to the inside of the windshield on all late model vehicles) in one application. Leaves glass crystal clear and sparkling. You will think the glass disappeared. Will not scratch or distort glass. Great for restoring old windshields. Can also be used to clean chrome and metal surfaces. For hand or machine use. Not for use on Coated Glass, painted or plastic surfaces.

I would try it on a small section to make sure you get the results you want.

I think you have a big problem on your hands. If you scratched the glass from removing window film, there is little that you can do to remove those scratches. I bet you probably used a green scouring pad to scrub off the adhesive. Because you have defrost lines on the rear hatch glass, you can not polish it. The glass is a laminate glass and is very hard. I have tried glass polishing kits with a polishing drill and even that is really time consuming to get out a couple small surface scratches from glass. If it bothers you , you will have to replace it with a new one. I know you won't be able to get rid of those millions of spiderweb scratches. Should have took it to a tint shop and had it professionally removed. I know because I have been tinting for 15 years now.

Litespeeds: You are absolutely right. i used that scrub, but soaked in 'googone' i never saw any scratches until it dried. my stupid mistake
oh well i always learn things hard way
if i re-tint at the shop, would that hide my fine scratches??
thanks for your input Litespeeds

Joel,

I think he's trying to set up that image as a signature, which is not allowed.
