Repair consists of drilling very small holes at the end the the scratch/crack to prevent further harm and then smoothing it out with some chemical.

That type of repair is for cracks or chips, where they inject a glue into the crack. The OP has a 4 inch long surface scratch that is cosmetic. An auto windshield has a highly polished factory finish that would be virtually impossible to replicate. Even if you could fill in the scratch, you would still see it because what you see is the light reflection from inside the scratch, where the polished finish has been damaged. I have tried to polish scratches on glass, but never had any success, and usually made it look worse.
