I use the Bull's Eye "C" shaped body tool with the pointed pick attachment. Assuming it is stainless steel, it takes a lot of patience and going at it slowly and very gently. It will require raising the dents then carefully filing with a very smooth file followed by much sanding with finer and finer grit abrasives. and finally buffing and polishing by hand or on a wheel with a variety of compounds to remove all traces of scratches. It is time consuming but it can be done properly to look as good as new if you are patient enough.
