If the 304 Stainless surface is polished, then using a buffer is a good solution. However, if it has a grain finish, then the buffer will only produce a bright spot where the scratch was and it won't match the surrounding area. What needs to be done for scratches in brushed grain Stainless steel surfaces is to use abrasives with mineral grit embedded that will remove the scratch and replace the grain. However, the repaired surface will still be brighter than the surrounding area due to the fact that it will be newly exposed metal and the surrounding area will be oxidized (oxidation is what gives Stainless steel its rich, warm color). The only system that accomplishes both repairing the grained surface and oxidizing the repair to blend in to the surrounding area is Scratch-B-Gone. Many retailers now carry this system (do a Google search to find many of them). As well, now most Stainless steel appliance manufacturers use, sell or recommend it to their customers.

A stainless steel scratch remover like Bar Keeper's Friend or a metal polish like Flitz can help buff out scratches on 304 stainless steel. Be sure to follow the instructions carefully and test the product in a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure it gives the desired results.
