I think the consensus is that if you can feel the mark/chip with your finger nail then no amount of polishing will fix it.

What's the point? Get a new one on insurance!

Even if you don't go through the insurance it's surprisingly reasonable.

+1, for most cars, £80 should do it.

This, although technically, you can polish and polish and polish... they'll eventually disappear, but at the expense of either a a cracked screen, or one that ends up like a magnifying glass.

I'm also surprised how some people still don't understand the principles of insurance claims.
