It would not be unreasonable to try to soften the scratches with a polishing compound before going back at it with Scotch Brite pads.

Based on your answer and the picture posted you were using too much pressure.
Go lightly (1 pound pressure).
Go in one direction (not back and forth).
Remove the side plate screws and grips and go directly over those areas too.
Finish off with the light grey ultra fine 600-800 Scotch Brite pad.
