Default Chip repair

After nearly 35,000 miles I have accumulated quite a few areas of chipped paint, mostly on the bumper cover, so I bought a bottle of touch up paint from my dealer. What is the best way to go about this repair and not end up with a worse situation that before.

and what about chips on the front trunk? I have tried the Langka and dr. color chip, and neither seem to do the job very well. May be the operator, but wondering if anyone else has had some luck with these two.

In my experience, it's all about the skills of the person who is repairing the chips as opposed to the product. A great detailer with wet-sanding capabilities can work wonders.

The Langka is not bad if you're going to do it yourself. I thought the Dr. Colorchip kit was useless.
