Minor chips CANNOT be repaired. Period. Very slight scratches that cannot be felt by running a fingernail over, can be fixed by polishing with a scratch remover (not swirl remover) and then swirl remover and then polish. Go search for car detailing websites and they will show you how.

Rhema is right. Minor swirl and scratches can be removed with the "normal" scratch remover such as your Turtle. One other heavier duty product you can try is rubbing compound. these are used by paint shops to smooth down paintwork after repray. Use it sparingly as they are actually abrasives. They rub down the paint to "remove" the scratches.
