The lighting in the pictures helps to hide the few scratches that remain, but most of the scratches were easily taken out with a grey scotch-brite pad.
While I would not recommend using scotch-brite pads on bead blasted surfaces because it tends to polish those surfaces, it does do a great job at getting light scratches out of surfaces that are already semi-polished. When using a scotch-brite pad, abrade in the same direction as the current finish, and make sure to use full-strokes for the final passes to provide continuity to the finish. Do not attempt to get out deep scratches as you will put a wave in the surface. If you are after deeper scratches it is best to sand the entire surface, which was not an option on the TGT because the serial number markings are so shallow.
