scratched glass
I took some painted markings off a double glazed panel I bought with scotchbrite (should have used a razor blade) and scratched the surface right in the line of vision. Any tips for getting rid of the scratches?

It depends how deep the scratches are. You could try a whitening toothpaste, or automotive cutting compound, or iron oxide (also called jeweler's rouge or polishing rouge), or diamond paste.
You'll need a lot of elbow grease and patience, or a buffing wheel.

I've tried toothpaste in the past but never had any success with it. Maybe I didn't do it right.

The scratches were probably too deep. If you use fine emery paper as djstimber suggested, then a whitening toothpaste will polish out any fine scratches left by the paper. Good for getting scratches and stains out of plastic bathtubs as well. You need a lot of elbow grease and patience though.

Just to be clear here, Micro Mesh is NOT emery paper.
This following code is quoted from a supplier
Micro-Mesh is made with a flexible cloth backing, topped with a layer of especially formulated latex. Silicone carbide or aluminum oxide crystals are bonded with a flexible glueCheers

I once used Kitten car polish (No 1) to get out a deep scratch from the side window of a car. It was a lot of work even with a buffer but it worked, even on toughened glass.
Being a deep and wide scratch, you could see an imperfection in the flatness of the surface but that was a lot better than what I started with.
