Autosol probably will do the trick.

Autosol is good. Works for small scratches too, just be careful not to use too much.

Paint over it with hammerite silver. I got the aerosol spray and sprayed it onto a bit of card and used a brush from there. The silver is a almost perfect match

Think I may try this as my bottom yoke is starting to look a bit scabby.
