scratch on screen (2014) 2018 reg

Can you polish out a scratch on these screens? Or do you remove the scratch protection and end up with a haze? Anybody with experience of getting scratches out?

Re: OEM Brake pad alternatives

My experience is they just don't feel the same, put they do look nice even when fitted.
