i'd get the touch up kit and fill the chips in so they're not as visible

depends what areas are affected. If it's bonnet and front bar, etc...maybe worth getting a respray if the car is peppered in stone chips?

Alternatively, remove all waxes/oils with a paint cleaner and then reapply a sealant or wax of your choice and steer clear of those problematic areas.

What products are you currently using?

My past experience was that the typical cheaper products tended to give off more 'dust' then the premium products leaving stone chips filled with the white remains.
