I wash the car well and then go about filling in the nicks with touch-up paint. After it dries (30 minutes or so), I come back and smooth over the blob of left-over paint with a product called Langka, which is an abrasive paste that 'melts' new paint and leaves old, well cured, paint pretty much alone. I'll polish a bit with Scratch-x and maybe a finer abrasive to shine it up and move on.

The tiny chips are gonna happen on our flat-nosed little cars... no getting around it. I'm just hoping that the touch-ups will get me a few more years before I break down and respray the bonnet and bumper.
