It's rather embarrassing to say how it happened but it happened. Does anyone have any advice on how to fix these scratches?

you can attempt to use compound then polish to buff it out. (not by hand)

no matter what the instructions say on the yard rake, it is NOT to be used to clean windows.

Looks like the 'ol "used a nasty effed up razor blade to take off a window sticker" trick!

. Long story short military decals are a PITA to remove. I looked around and called some people and they all said to replace it because they don't fix scratches.So where are those Camaro5 stickers I've heard so much about ?

Sucks that it happened.
I have taken plenty of base stickers off with a razor blade. No issues at all. |

new windshield or new sticker... my mom tried to scrape ice off her Cutlass with a metal kitchen spatula once upon a time. She thought only diamonds could scratch glass :/
