Default Small scratches on windshield and windows

Well I take care of my car pretty well (the paint that is) Wash it, wax it, polish on certain dates. I dont do anything special to the windows though, and now I just found small swirld marks on by back window. Is there anything to get them out? is there something similar to wax for windows?

as said above, it is possible to remove swirling out of glass. it just takes a long time because glass is so much more harder than paint is.

Last year, on my way home from a road trip in WI Dells, I got alot of bugs on my windshield so I took a Scotch brite dishwashing pad and went ahead and cleaned them "buggers" off. To my surprise, lots of fine scratches and swirls on it. What a friggin mistake!!!
The more I wash the Box, the more the scratches and swirls slowly disappear from the windshield. I learned my lesson...

I can still remember my ex scrubbing the front of her new CRX with a ScotchBrite to get bugs off. Poor thing was never the same.
