Jewellers rouge is supposed to be good at getting light scratches out of glass, but it all depends how bad they are.

We sometimes use jewellers rouge at work and it CAN work, but only really on light scratches. Body glass is toughened and often fairl impervious to rubbing compounds - carefull tho, too much buffing can actually dull the glass...
