thanks for all the input, i picked up some NuFinish scratch remover today, gonna try it first. Having never sanded metal i think i would really screw the tank up, think i would live with the scratches before I personally tried to wet sand the tank. I would hate to go from a few minor scratches to needing a new paint job.

i've buffed out some pretty major scratches.
first use polishing compound to see if that will get it out. Use it with a buffer - you can do it by hand but i can pretty much guarantee that it will make your arm feel like its gonna fall off.
If that doesnt get desired results then go to a rubbing compound. This is pretty abrasive stuff and always be sure to wet it - never use it with just the paste.
Then go back to the polishing compound once your scratch is gone. This will give it the sheer shine
Then go to a good wax to finish it off - I tend to prefer paste wax buffed on - it gives it an excellent shine.97 Katana 600
