Default Alright... slight problem here...

SO I picked up the 2001 (black) from the dealer just under 2 weeks ago. I looked sweet. The paint looked almost new. Up until today, I just washed it and the dealer applied wax was good. Today, I did the whole nine yards with a hybrid Zaino/Meguiars process. (I polished with Z5, as well as with the Meguiars polish and caranuba wax). Now, I am seeing these rock chips in the headlight covers and bumper. What I think it is, is the polish and wax filling in the small depression, so it looks white. The chips are not to the primer. (since I didn't see them before polishing/waxing) So, what can I do to disolve the product from the small pits? (Everything else looks absolutely sweet... but these small little white marks... grr...)
