Sand with fine grit wet & dry used wet.
I go down to 2000.
It looks horrible but then clears up nicely when you polish with meguiars scratch X.

Main thing to remember is to support the "glass" properly as you polish it. It really sucks to get the scratch out and then crack the bloody thing.
Don't ask me how I know...
