If you want to get all the scratches out, your best bet is to wet sand them.  Hopefully you can start about 400 grit and work finer.  Be careful though because it is easy to make the surface "wavy" which will really show up in the final polish.  It helps to use some kind of a sanding block - even a flexible one.  If it is not in a very visible place, I'd be inclined to leave a scratch or two.

..... Yes, That's what I am doing, the wet sand. I was hopping to find something a little faster.
