Very shallow: wetsand and/or compound
More significant: repaint

If it`s too deep it`s best to live with it than to remove too much paint.

I did tried polishing with P0203S on green pad but it only removed swirls. :p

Well, it seldom does.
99% of the time I`d expect you`ll have to live with it or have the areas repainted. That`s what I do.

A looong time ago, in an article in a car magazine (C&D, IIRC) a museum curator in Italy was asked why all the great cars in a collection had chips and so on...why they weren`t perfect.
His reply: "real cars have stonechips".
I`ve always taken that to heart and I just don`t let `em bug me until they get to the "better repaint that" level.
