Lexus Is250 Paint Question

I just purchased a black IS250 last month, and after letting my mom drive it, I found 3 extremely small paint chips on the driver side passenger door, and a scrape on the bumper from what looks like a curb.

I was wondering what I can do to fix this. I know the dealer sells touch up paint, is that good ot use on things like this? I fear for the chip getting bigger since I have heard of that happening. If anyone can give me any advice that would be great.

Thanks.

If you're missing paint, touch-up is the only way to replace it. If it's a scratch, you can polish it out a little bit with a scratch remover product.

If you're worried about getting the touch-up to look somooth, use a product like Langka (www.langka.com (http://www.langka.com)) afterwards... it's a little like color sanding but safer.

What scratch remover product do you recommend for a curb scrape?

Some may work better than others depending on what the problem is, but I've got Mothers on my car care shelf.
