Excellent to hear. You did it by hand? If you invest in a PC and the right products, it should end up perfect. If you don't want to do it, use this site to find a detailer near you and it'll be better than it was before it was keyed.
Nice to read some good news.

Good info :bigups ....will have to apply this know-how unforunately.
I just got keyed for the first time this weekend in San Diego - rear of my truck. Random keying crap :grrr Bad enough that people are generally inconsiderate about banging doors into others' cars and rubbing rings/purses/zippers on the paint.....then some senseless act of destruction gets taken out on my car.
Here is a suggestion for a fix.
Dip cotton bud in clearcoat enamel apply on scratch to fill. More than 1 application may be necessary to fill deeper scratches.
Use polish (with mild cutting compound) and gently rub to remove excess clearcoat applied out of the scratch.
Test on small part of scratch first.
This should reduce the amount of cut & polishing you have to do which may go past the clear coat revealing the base paint coat in the areas surrounding the scratch.

Swirls?!?! NNOOOOOOO!!!!!
My sister's car got "keyed" across the hood last week. Deep enough to feel, not to the metal. About 30 min. with Mothers Scratch Remover and a round foam pad (by hand) and they look much less noticeable. (Sweat pouring off my brow - it needed some "persuasion." 
) Still there, but I didn't want to go right flush, as I think I'd be going through the clear. Still, for a "by hand" job and no special tools, it turned out fairly well!
