well then quit waxing your car

Actually, assuming the chip still has color (not down to primer) you could get a small bottle of clear touch up. Clean the chip out well, maybe with a paint prep product to get all the wax out. Then use a match stick sharpened to a point (not the brush in the bottle - too big). Dip the match tip in the clear, then just touch it to the chip's center and the paint will flow out to fill. Probably have to do this several times. Fill until the clear is at or slightly above the original finish. Give it a day or two so the paint solvents are well gone, then use 1500 sandpaper, followed by 2000, then polishing compund, then rewax. This will take a few days, but should end up looking reasonably good - all for less than about 10 bucks.

Or you could do like I did, put a bra on the front and never look under there again. Who cares if the bra scratches, it was screwed up already.
