Those scratches can make windshield wipers operate less efficiently. So I would car wax the windshield. Those tiny scratches are filled with wax making the wipers operate without streaks recreated by those scratches.

But I have never had a windshield so damaged as to so seriously refract sunlight. The wax might fill those scratches - obstructing light that would otherwise be refracted by the imperfection. But there is no alternative to glass replacement if the glass is that scratched.

I worked for a guy once who killed a pedestrian. Low sun hitting his glass meant he did not see the pedestrian; ran him over with the truck. Too many scratches creating sun obstructed vision should not be ignored.
