You can't buff out rock chips. Just about the only option you have is touch-up paint.

Dr. Colorchip is the easiest product that doesn't require a buffer, it also doesn't look the best either. However it would look MUCH better then all of the rock chips. It basically slightly fills and colors the rock-chips, but doesn't adhere to the existing paint outside of the rock chips.

If you want them to look their best, that's a time consuming professional job which includes base coat, clear coat, wetsanding, compounding, and then 1-2 steps of polishing after.
