My grey metallic color ES got keyed several times, resulting in white lines along the doors where the paint used to be. I applied touch-up paint from the dealer. The color is close enough, but my sloppy use of the brush resulted in a swath of raised painted area extending beyond the gouged area. Can this be removed by using an orbital sander? I'm leery of using a power tool on my car. Also, is anything other than wax needed to make the touched up areas shine (e.g., a clear coat paint)?

I would not use an orbital sander....
