Deeper scratches can be easily removed with heavier grit RED or GREEN SCUFF PADS if necessary and then those scratches blended with the other pads. With a little patience and practice you will be able to match the surrounding areas perfectly. I found the gray and white scuff pads I was looking for at Grainger Industrial Supply.

For stainless guns -- The gray and white ScotchbriteŽ pads are available at NAPA stores -- they are apparently used when priming and painting cars. Not expensive.
But caution -- don't use the green pads found in grocery stores, Wal-Mart, etc. Far too coarse.
I've used Flitz (in a tube) with good results after using the ScotchbriteŽ pads -- but you have to be careful about how much you use it, or you will soon have a very shiny (mirror-like) surface that is not really like the original S&W "tumbled" stainless look.
