Autoglym SRP is pretty good for this
If you have access to a DA, a machine polished finish will be far superior.

SSR1 carefully applied by hand should work :)
Just be sure to give it a good coat of sealant/wax after you are finished
And to use plenty of soapy water with the wet'n'dry

If you can avoid wet-sanding, I would apply several very thing layers of touch-up to the chip over a week or so, if you are careful no wet-sanding or polishing will be required.

I tried that approach and you still end up with the visible 'blob'...but i guess its each to their own
