As per recommendations from others try buffing with toothpaste or a
metal polish like Brasso to get rid of as much of the visible scratch
as possible. Then use an acrylic floor polish sold as Future Wax (or
Future something, WalMart) to touch up the scratch . The acrylic will
modify the optical properties, much like damping it with water will
make the scratch invisible.
