The best solution is to just ignore them. Alternatively, you could try using a squeegee to let the polyurethane only accumulate in the scratches and not coat the whole surface. Sort of what I do with gel coat when I want to repair a lot of scratches on a hull. In fact, you could use epoxy instead of PU.
