I would say use some fine sandpaper to sand out the scratches and then some mothers aluminum polish to shine it back up and remove the sanding marks.

Depends on how deep the scratches are. You can definitely get them out, but it might take some work. Do a search for "polishing the plenum" on this site and you'll get a world of info.
