Removing small scratches from titanium case?

Recently acquired a PAM 89 and of course, being that its pre-owned there are imperfections on the case and bezel areas, as well as the underside.

Since this is a titanium case, are these scratches removable with a certain polish or refinishing pad? Its not really considered brushed is it?

Is this something I can do myself or better to have it done?

Titanium is "self healing" from the oxide that it forms over time.

Frequently you can take the scratch out with a hard pencil erasure or one of the pens for that use. It will be shiny but over time it is supposed to re-oxidize.
