Great tips, thanks. I'll try to post a picture of the scuff - it's more like a large number of parallel scratches making a patch roughly 3" diameter. One or two scratches are deeper than the others, but I reckon I could cover up a lot of them using the method you suggest. I doubt it would take many coats for most of them actually, and even a single coat would hide the whiteness of the scratches.

I half imagined there might be some sort of plasticised filler that could be rubbed into the scratches and buffed smooth - maybe I've spotted a gap in the market!
