This is what we do here and it works fine:
1.Clean the area you want to touch up and degrease(eg.with alcohol)
2.Let it dry.Apply touch up paint to the area(dont worry if the paint goes outside the area!You will be able to get it off later when it dries!) and wait
about 10 mins.
3.Apply more paint within the 10 mins period until you are happy that the paint has filled the area you are working.
4.Heat up the area
slightly with hair dryer or heat gun (min.setting).This is just to bake the paint a little so that you can drive the car for a few days.
5.After 2-3 days ,apply a "T"cut polisher over the area by hand in swirling motions.You will now be polishing out any excess paint outside the area and will be levelling out the rest of the touch up paint on the affected area.
6.When you happy with process,Zaino it to protect it.
I know that its better said than done,but I got 3 hood chips on my ,then 2-week old, M3, and I did exactly what I explained above and although I know the chips are there,I have to look hard to notice them!Good luck.
