None of the "cover up" products work very well, and the wax is a very low quality.
Basically, you can get very good results with the factory touch up paint. Just carefully put the touchup paint on so you don't have gobs of it (I use a toothpic or small artist brush to apply it). Let harden for 1 week. Wet sand it down with a 2000 grit sanding block (I use MEGUIAR'S FINESSE SANDING BLOCK). Polish out scratches (I use 3M IMPERIAL HAND GLAZE) and wax (I use P21S). I've repaired over 40 chips on my 90 SPG this way from the very small to dime size. From 3 feet away you can only see it if you knew it was there. My car is black. I've also done this on white cars and blue cars.
For an even more complex method and all of the products I mentioned above, see:
