I want to seal my counter top but I noticed these small chips - do I need to fix them?

I had my travertine tiles professionally restored a year ago and was going to use them to restore my counter tops too. However, I don't really care as much with the counter tops. My kitchen has the same counter top, but its in much better shape, although it has similar chips its not as noticeable. I am wondering if these are damages from wear and tear or just normal and maybe was always there? do I need to fix them or they will get worse? I was planning on just wiping the counter tops and applying 511 impregnator sealer on them. Honestly I am pretty sure I caused this issue because I used to let water just dry on the counter top, now I wipe it with a towel every time it gets wet. I think its a marble counter top, any tips for cleaning before sealing? the kitchen has a lot of grease, not sure what the safest cleaner is for marble. If I do need to fix them, any easy recs for someone who is not handy. I have filled holes in my travertine with something called travertine filler and did a horrible job, but it did end up working in the end. https://imgur.com/a/zvKlIFV submitted by /u/431p [link] [comments]
