I ordered Scotchbrite 7447 "maroon" pads off ebay for a few quid. Basically the idea (from the vids I'd watched) was to rub the pad around the tube uniformly. We got stuck in and it didn't take much to get a decent finish.
Most of the scratches went quite easily. For the deeper ones we just rubbed the frame for longer. You can see the before and after in this photo:
