There isnt anyway to get it off. Except sand it off and repolish it, and maybe it will turn out halfway decent.

if it's not too bad, then sand it off with a low grit (around 800) wet or dry and then smoothen out the scratches with 1500 or 2000 grit wet or dry. Then polish it out with rubbing compound, and then dip it in a container of Future Floor Polish. Give it several coats of Future if you want. It should come out quite close to perfect :)
