i know this has been delt with many times before the subject of light scratches on van windows and a lot of people use brasso what i want to know do you use liquid or paste .
Don't know if the OP has ever bulled a pair of boots but the same action is used when getting rid of the scratches.
Small circles, start with Brasso, and, when you can see the effect that you have made on the plastic, (should resemble on of those french 'Bistro' type tables), go onto the T Cut. Simonize Safe Cut is slightly less abrasive still if you're a glutton for punishment.

Hi allan-d, Just last week I posted about van damage, windows deep scratches, caused by giant inflatable slide,” Have a look at my post and see what caused the damage, if Brasso can take out that kind of damage, your light scratches should be no problem”.
I used Brasso in liquid form, a small felt buffing pad soaked in Brasso attached to a battery operated drill to control the speed of the buffing, used drill about half speed, the results are very good considering how deep scratches were, you need to look really hard to see the remnants of any scratches, also used it on the rear panel and the front faded and stone chipped panel buffed out extremely well, and it leaves a good shiny skin, van will be getting a coat of showroom shine to protect the bodywork and windows. Is Hard labour intensive work, don’t be tempted to rush it and do not use heavy pressure on window

Hi sorry to jump in on someone elses post. Can this be done without a buffer? And does the showroom stuff really protect it?
------------- Enjoy life while you can, none of us know what's round the corner!
Hi allan-d, Omitted to say you can rub down window with cloth and Brasso, it is very hard work by hand and takes days, I used battery drill and buffer as scratches so deep, and it took 5 day to get it near perfect.
Do Not Use AC power drill it is to fast and will damage the windows.
Hope this helps you too, ferretlady.
showroom shine dose work
