I use one of those thickish razorblades for the old style razor knives. Block up the key, and with the blade at about 80 degrees to the key top pull towards you. This more or less "peals" of a very thin and even layer. Makes it easy to buff up by hand afterwards. You have to have a nice fresh blade of course.
