Floor scratches from grit between the rubber piece and metal

Hey all:

Noticed some very light scratches in the metal floor in the driver's footwell, presumably from sand/grit between the rubber floor piece and the floor itself. None appear to be through to the metal, just surface. Any ideas how to best care for this? Was just going to hit it with some clear touch up but if there's any better method please let me know. I assume it's steel, so would prefer to get well ahead of any possible corrosion issues so I can still hose it down from time to time.

WeatherTech can't come out with their mats soon enough...

Are you using a generic rubber mat down there? I have the factory liners and they seem to be doing a nice job.

Nah, just the factory liner. My best guess is the sand got in there and I was using the floor with my feet (lol) it scratched between the liner and the metal floorboard. There's like ~6 light scratches, the majority of which are on that little hump in the floorboard.
