crap
waiting to have the clear bra installed... a week away and guess what happens....
I have two small scratches on the fender, but two larger paint chips on my hood.
Any ideas on how to repair them so i can install the clear bra like nothing happened? I'm sure someone one has faced this problem Or i'm i the only one with a minor case of bad luck?

I had the same thing happen. About to install clear bra, then found like 8 rock chips on the hood. I've only had the car for 400 miles. 
I ordered Dr. Colorchip after reading reviews in one of the forum sections here and will be trying that, then I'll put the clear bra on.

if you could post an update of your results with that product, it would be greatly appreciated. I'm going to try scratchX and see if that does the job on most of them. I'm hoping the other can be accomplished with the touch up pen. My friend said he tried the pen, but used a different applicator (a small paint brush) and had better results.... I have a feeling, using touchup paint and messing up might just make it more noticable (at least to me)

I don't think waxing is going to help. Correct me if I'm wrong, but before the clearbra is installed, they pre-treat the area to get rid of all contaminants, waxes, etc.
I vote touch-up paint. If they're really bad, get a recommendation from a reputable body shop.
