BMW paint kits at dealer

I was at my dealer over the weekend and something caught my attention. It was the BMW paint touch up kits. On the front of my hood I have about 10 little rock chips. How would I go about applying the paint. Should you wax first or not have wax.

How are the results.

If the chips are small, use the BMW touch up paint. Make sure you have the clearcoat as well.
I used this method on my Blk Saph Met e92 and it came out as good as possible DIY.
1. Wash/Dry Car
2. With toothpick, fill in chips with paint.
3. Let dry as recommended
4. With toothpick, apply clearcoat
5. Then do your polishing, waxing, etc...

So I should strip all sealant and wax on the car before applying any touch up paint?

Thanks for asking. I have the same question. If so how do you strip the wax. With dawn.
