Load of scratch removers available on Ebay,or you could try T cut. If scratches really deep you will have to replace facia. 

 hope this helps

we have an oven cleaning side to our business and all you need is a little bit of baby oil on a lint free cloth, wipe over sparingly and the facia will look as good as new.

Yes agree baby oil leaves a great cosmetic finish, but does not remove scratches.
Soon as the oil wears off scratches re-appear.
So if you have scatched someones oven when doing a clean they will expect more than this.In two years of oven cleaning my company has slightly damaged two ovens facias  and on both occasions i paid to have damaged parts replaced.
Cost approx £60 but better than having dissatisfied customers and bad word of mouth.

hi there

two things

first,

scratches, what is scratched ? if its stainless then wet and dry in the direction of the stainless grain, takes a long time and practice,

if its coated then you need a plastic surgeon

in fact the plastic surgeon will do both, and does it very well

secondly

instead of using baby oil, use a stainless steel plish, something like clover chemicals dazzle. its great. and wont become sticky.  you will be totally lown away with the results.
