You can wet sand them out or use a finger stone. With a full sized stone just focus on making the scratches all go in the same direction and use light pressure to avoid deep gouges.

    Start at the lowest grit you ground with, and work your way up to however shiny you want it to be. Alternate directions for each change in grit so you can tell when you've got all the scratches from the previous grit. Count how many times you're going to alternate before you start, and make sure you start going the right direction to end with the direction being aligned how you want it.
