How to fix a thick scratch on car glass?

Never buy an ice scraper with a plastic head on a metal tube.

Stupid cheap ice scraper head fell off the metal tube handle today when I was scraping ice off my windshield. So the metal handle basically left a 4 inch scratch on the glass. Not very deep though, but its thick.

Anyone have any ideas how to cover it up a bit? I have this leftover epoxy stuff bought on ebay used to fix windshield cracks so maybe I can smear a little bit of this stuff on the scratch? Dont know if that will work or not. Other ideas welcome.

clear nail polish

If the nail polish doesn't work for you, maybe you have a local mobile fix-a-chip guy. Ours has an ad in Easy-Ad (free ad magazine) and does a good job with chips. The scratch may be beyond what he can do. The price is reasonable.
