yes possible but depends on how bad the scratches are. If it's really mild u can try using toothpaste or autosol and give it a good buff with a cloth, if it's too deep u might need a buffing tool and some proper abrasive solution.

I have heard however that if the scratch is too deep and you do buff it away you will be making the glass weaker where you buffed...
