Can you feel them with your finger nail?

Are they scratches as opposed to smears / hazing?

Try a light polish to see if it makes a difference.

i don't think i could feel them ther realy light and only visible when the sun shines on them.
and i think they are from cleaning but i dont know how, i have been very carefull.
i'm not going to dry the windows next time, i don't want more scratches.
and you mean something like rusty has posted?

Wax protects, Polish has a slight abrasive in... pop to halfords & grab some autoglym resin polish or similar
