I think you would just need to repolish it?

The key is not getting the scratches in the first place :lol:

Seriously though, you would need to use at least a 6" buffing wheel with progressively finner polishing compounds depending on how deep the scratches are.

Copied off our site: "Proper stainless steel care can provide a show quality shine for years to come. #8 mirror finish is just as easy to scratch as your cars paint so you must treat it with the same care. Only clean your Specialized Stainless products with clean micro fiber and a quality polish. I recommend "Mothers Billet Metal Polish". You can find this at most auto parts stores for about $15 per 4oz container (remember a little goes a long way). As an example, to clean a battery cover you would only need a pea sized drop. Lightly rub the polish onto the cover with your micro fiber towel until it is evenly coated. Now move to a clean section on your micro fiber and lightly buff the polish off.

The #4 brushed finish is easier to care for. Since it is a directional polished finish, scratches will be hard to see. I would still recommend the cleaning method above but you won't hurt finish of the brushed Specialized Stainless products with conventional cleaning products."

With the above technique, I'm assuming you have #8 non-directional mirror polish?
