Get yourself a red 3M scotchbrite pad and sand in a cross hatch pattern until the scratch itself is gone, then look at the aluminum pattern around the patch area and sand in the same direction. after you get a small pattern going, you might end up using 600-1,000 grit to bring it back to looking like the rest of the panel.
