Well thanks for all the advice but I got the cuts out...well 99% anyway.Ray you are correct with the distortion theory,the guy at the auto glass joint said the same thing you are saying about size of scratchs,place to be buffed out,windshield viewing distortion etc.It wasn't a transferance of metal,it was scratchs,four to be exact,due to two passes of the squigee on the widsheild and two rivets.I took my Dremel tool,a buffer tip,some red jewelers rouge and carefully traveled down the 3 inch cuts....viola! the scratches seemed to disappear!After very carefull examination they are still there but in minute,hairline configuration.In other words you really have to look for them to be noticable...no worse than some scratches left from dragging a dry wiper along the windshield with a little dirt on the glass.Thanks for all your suggestions,the teeny-booper at the dollar store was very sorry about my malaise
