What do you guys do for rock chips on paint?
More specifically, how can you repair these aside from just painting over them?

I touch-up, wax, then hand buff.

Im not sure how that would help considering its flaking. Seems like the more pressure I put on this, the more it will peel.

What about dabbing super glue on the open wound, so it stops it from peeling, then paint over it w/ touch up?

Clean the chip and surrounding area with alcohol. Apply touch-up paint. Followed by Langka. Wait a day or two, then wax or sealant.
