Default Rock chips, pits in bumper...

I am at a loss here... bought my 40th with approx 14k on it and there were not more than 2 or 3 rock chips (very slight) anywhere on the car... I have had it for approx 2k miles and have noticed another 6 at least. Obviously I am doing something wrong here... Car is garaged kept and I don't drive overly aggressively, on dirty/damaged roads, or follow trucks closely.

Just recently clay barred the entire car (wow what a dif) and I frequently wash wax. I wash it at least 1-2x a week and generally try to keep my hands off the paint by using a mild pressure nozzle with a soap adapter and a leaf blower.

Really my question is how can I clean up the front bumper. Has there been any success in removing some of that raised paint on your average chip? I think that is the worse part... looks like a mini-meteor hit my car haha.

I'm def over-reacting but the softness of our paint really gets to me.
