If the scratches are in the coating, they cannot be removed. The only way to fix it is remove the coating. How you remove the coating depends on whether it's on glass or plastic.

Time for a new mirror. As I recall, one can buy just the glass / reflective part and install it. Having done this twice, I can tell you there is apparently a trick to it. (The first time I broke it.)

^^^^ Yep it's time for new mirror pieces. I tried just about every paste, wax, buffer under the sun on a Jeep and ended up just replacing the reflective portion. Like 2stroked said, it can be a pain - I let the glass shop do it.
