Question Polishing on the Inside of the Windshield?

Hey guys... I just removed a sticker that was on the inside of my windshield. It was a parking sticker that I had to stick onto the windshield to be able to park in my school lot. It was a pain to remove, but once I removed it, I noticed that I scratched the glass on the inside. They aren't deep scratches, so I will just polish them out. What I wanted to know was if I need to polish the entire inside of the windshield or if I can just polish the scratched section. I am pretty sure it would be unnecessary to do the whole windshield, but I don't want to find out that if won't match. Any advice would be great. Thanks.

I used goo gone and it didn't work since the decal was plastic reinforced. I tried polishing the scratches and it didn't really work. The scratches aren't that deep though.

Try toothpaste. It has a small amount of grit in it. It seamed to work well with getting scrathes off of the face of my watch.

^^Like Mothers Powerball mini? I used Zaino glass polish on the inside. Would the powerball mini and the zaino glass polish work well on the outside? I used the Zaino on the outside by hand and it worked, but was alot of work. Will the powerball have enough cutting action to deep polish the exterior windshield to remove all the contaminants? I used a clay bar and it didn't perfectly work.
