I don't recommend sanding for chips. There is too much chance for error and you will disturb perfectly good paint and the smooth surface around the chip. The advantage of the hand glaze is no sanding required.

If you want to bring the paint up to level around other paint, you will have to use several layers of touch up paint and then level it with wet and dry abrasive cloth. Check out Micro Mesh: MICRO MESH SANDING SHEETS INTRODUCTORY WOOD KIT - Amazon.com. Note it goes up to 12,000 grit. And the rubber block they provide has just the right softness. Use wet or dry, but wet is probably better for a car finish.
