I have recently fitted a kitchen. The oven hob is stainless steel.
Accidently (absent mindedly) I used the green side of a scourer to clean of
some stains. Suffice to say i now have scratch marks blemishing the hob.

Any advice for their removal?

Oh we weren't having a go at you - you just used the correct name for it

Al's point was that because some other countries couldn't say Jif, we all
had to change to Cif - and it is a stupid name

Let's face it, "Snickers" has only just got accepted ;o)

Well, that's what I figured ... though I suppose it depends _how_ you
say it ... ;-)

I thought they changed the name Jif to Cif because there was already a product
called Jif - that lemon juice stuff in a squeezy yellow plastic lemon.

Had a similar problem and eventually used Solvol Autosol, it's
a relatively mild abrasive that you can get from car accessory
shops, Halfords etc.

This, and using water as a lubricant worked pretty good on a
SS sink although it may not work with your oven - you should
first try it on a part of the hob that's not visible just to make
sure that it'll be ok and not make things worse.

If the steel has a matt finish I dont think anything will help. To hide
scuffs as well as fingerprints on SS lightly coat it with baby oil
