Rock/debris chips - can any of this be detailed out?

In the year or so I've had my 2004 black Passat I have accumulated a lot of chips on the front end, which drives me absolutely nuts, as you can probably imagine.



I know that usually these kinds of things can't be detailed out and require a touch up or total re-painting. Many of them, however, are very small and I cant even really feel them with my finger. I'm trying to maintain my car as best I can, but with all the driving I do it can get very frustrating! Any ideas as to whether or not anyof this can get detailed out by a good pro detailer?

Also some pics of how the "better" parts look on my car. The white spots seen here are just bits of dust, not chips in the paint. There are increasing swirl marks to due a few dealership washes, and my use of products I have since stopped using (car duster on an overly dusty car, cheap "microfiber", and Absorber). This is really the first time I've taken an interest in maintaining my cars finish, so mistakes are inevitable, but they are frustrating never the less.

Nice whip.



You could do something for the swirls but those chips and road rash parts will have to be sanded out and repainted.



I've had some limted success with polishing some chips out with a rotary and a heavy cut pad/polish combo, but that in a sense is wearing down the clear coat to the bottom of the chip (not something you want to keep doing)
