All you will really do with a PC or Rotary is polish the top of the raised touch up.

You need to wet sand the area with very fine abrasive paper until the surface is level, and then polish it back with the PC/Rotary.

would of been better just using a coloured polish to mask it slightly, lik like the ones that come with the touch up sticks, and then polishing it with a porter cable to remove it depending how deep of mask it using differnt polsih's and glazes.
