Hi Steve,
Looking at the photo it appears that this is a "flex to fit" application. It
is not possible to deterring if it is superficial or not.
There are some potential ways to clean it up but I am not certain it would
be of benefit and some might make the matter worse.
I assume that this is a one time event. I can't visualize on first glance
how it might be a problem with the ground beneath and the scratch
substantially parallel with the bend but much depends on the application and use
environment. One step to better understanding that end, will it be bent with the
imperfection inside or outside the bend?
If you wish to clean it up (i.e., cover it up) there are UV curable liquid
covercoats akin to solder mask that could work in the manner you are accustomed
to.
Werner and other folks here may have some additional thoughts to share as
well.
Good luck,
Joe
