Tiny Paint Chips - How to Fix
I have a few of these, seems like more since I got the car.
They are about the size of a dull pencil tip and are mainly on the front (From rocks flying off of cars in front of me I'm guessing). They appear at first to be bugs but then they don't wash off.
Whats the best way to make these look better? Or at least get rid of the black freckle look.

I have a black S4 and when I get chips they turn white (exact opposite of yours, I don't know why they dont put silver primer under silver paint and the same for black under black)and they really bug the crap out of me since I'm a perfectionist. I have spent many hours of the day figuring out how to fix these little chips and I came to the solution of using a black sharpie and dotting in each and every chip by hand, then using tar and bug remover from wal mart to dull the freshly done touch up spots and then washing and putting on a fresh coat of scratch-x and finally waxing it. Now I notice your car is silverso techicallyif your could find a silver sharpie or marker.... try that ON A SMALL SPOT of course see how it looks. I figure though that it easier for black than silver but this really works, hope everyone reads this! It is good info for you car detailers out there.

Get an AutoSharp pen. http://www.autovisuals.com/
They are matched perfectly on my bimmer and are very easy to use. They have a felt tip much like a Sharpie. Best investment I've made for that car.

Hi
Look up "Langka" It's sold in some stores and on line. I have found this to be the best way to do it. But it has to be 70 degrees for the best results. I have been using it on my vettes for years.
Good Luck
Alan
