Default Scratched Up Windshield

So I broke one of my windshield wipers and used it a couple of times before replacing it (I know....I phail). Now I have scratches on my windshield in the form of 4 long arches from the metal parts of the broken wiper.

I did some googling and I'm going to buy some polishing compound to try to buff the surface scratches away, but does anyone have any recommendations for a scratched up windshield (besides replacing it)?

And if you have no suggestions, then pray that my dad and brothers don't have a heart attack when they see the damage.

Looks like you'd be better off replacing the windshield. Cracks (even tiny cracks) weaken the overall structure of the windshield and it can cause bigger problems later on.
