Small Paint Chipping / Correction

Purchased a used 2022 black m240i w/ 14,000 miles on it 2 months ago. Previous owner had taken pretty good care of it and only had a couple blemishes (a few small paint chips).

I was inspecting my car a couple days ago and noticed a bunch of small (even smaller) paint chips on the hood, specifically the front driver side. The chips are not as large as the few the car came with but if you look closely, you can see it. I am assuming this is from a car throwing up sand and small rocks in front of me? However it happened, it happened.

The pictures below shows the chipping. Yellow circle indicates the chips that were already there. Red circle indicates the new smaller chips I recently noticed. **After posting this thread, I realize the "very small" chips are hard to see in the red circle. They are very small and rang from pin need to sand of grain. When the car is the garage at night, it is easiest to spot.

Does anyone have some insight on how to go about fixing this?
-Claying and polishing to fix/fill these smaller chips?
-Purchasing correction paint and putting small dots on the hood?
-Taking it somewhere? If so, what procedure to have done?

Lastly, the car came with PermaPlate Paint Guard and I had the coverage transferred to me. has anyone successfully filed a claim with them? Appreciate any insight!
