Default Scratched Paint Help

Just got my 99.5 a4 2 weeks ago, noticing a few scratches aroud the exterior...there are a few minor ones, but wax did not take care of it. Also, bumpers have "little dots" of paint missing. You cant really tell from far away, but im obsessed with this car so I want to fix it...what can i do? Color is volcano black

no i dont have a buffer, but some of the scratches are chips...ill post pics tomorrow, but is there any such thing as a "quick paint job?" The car doesnt need a new paintjob, but some parts need touch-ups and stuff. I dunno, what would you do?

You probably can buff out fine scratches. I don't think you can buff out stone chips. Toutch-up paint will be your best friend for stone chips unless you want to re-paint the area. Even you re-paint the area, eventually you'll still get stone chips especially if you lived somewhere snows. The rock salt from highway will cause chips. I've had clear bra installed on my car and still get many stone chips on the hood, and few on mirror caps. Some of them are noticeable and some of them are not. I've gave up reparing chips now. It's hard to prevent it.
