Default Chip in paint - already filled with touchup

Any ideas on what to do with this? This chip was down to the primer, then filled with touch up paint. Would it be possible to fill the rest with clear, wet sand, and buff the area, and have it turn out ok? I'm kind of a newb when it comes to paint/body, so figured I'd ask the experts here.

No. That aint never going to look perfect until the whole panel is repainted.

Don't really need to to be perfect, but would like to be able to use a cloth or pressure washer on the area again without fear of chipping the paint more. It's more of a not wanting it to get any worse thing.
