So... it works!!!
I bought this “scratch remover” fiberglass pencil by ebay (there are several places offering very similar tools), and it arrived today.
My oldest titanium buckle was very scratched, so it was the best candidate to test the tool. And the result is amazing!!
The buckle before:

“Brushing” the buckle with the tool (you have to brush the surface in the same direction it was originally brushed), and depending on how deep is the scratch you have to brush more or less times over the scratch. For light scratches, just two or three times is enough.

And this is the final result. This fiberglass pencil
is magic!

After this first test, I removed other minor scratches in other titanium buckles, and also a big scratch I had in one of the titanium lugs. Now it looks perfect again!
The fiberglass is slightly consumed while you brush the metal, but you can remove many scratches with one of these tools!
