Commercial stainless sink fabricators use these:

They should be available in home centers and automotive stores.
Look for the gray 7446 as it is made especially for stainless,
though maroon will probably do what you need.

Scotchbrite pads (the stuff sold at your FLAPS, not the grocery store)
will work too for severe scratches. Make sure to go with the grain
otherwise your repair will be obvious.
