polishing glass....

Glass topped garden table fell over. Thankfully the glass didn't smash but has some scratches.

Any way to polish them out?

    Jewellers rouge is the correct product but depending how deep the scratch is could be very hard work and may leave a ripple in the glass. Not expensive, readily available on Ebay, Amazon etc

    As Spiny says, but very hard work - you'd really need a machine. And even then...

    Is it reversible? Could the scratches be filled using a resin-type product as used on windscreens, polished flat, and the glass turned over?

    find a friendly local glass supplier/glazier and see if they can do anything with it for some beer tokens.  if you want to try polishing it borrow someones random orbital car polisher and stock up on patience, if its toughened glass it will be hard going. failing that plenty of drinks coasters and drinks :-)
