ME TOO!
I'm in the process of doing this too. (see the "Silver Lining" thread)
From what I've read. You start leveling ( after its dried properly ) with 1500 grit sand paper then move to 2000 grit then compounding and polishing.
Use lots of water when sanding and put a dab of car wash soap on the spot for lubrication. Also only sand in one direction, not back and forth.
This is what I'm going to try anyway, (I'm hoping to skip the compounding step and go right to DACP, then polish).
I'll post pics when I'm finished.

Mother's has a paint leveling product, formerly Lanka, that I have used with mixed results. Basically, it is a type of thinner that levels off the blob that is usually left after touch-up. It works pretty good on solid colors, but getting metallics to blend is not that easy for me.
Since I have had som very good results and some so-so results, it about has to be technique. Luckily, I haven't had to practice too much.
