Put a glass coating on it. There are many available through Detailed Image. I was clumsy and scraped the area in front of the front wheel rather badly while backing out of the garage. Lots of housepaint on the car, and man was I afraid of what was underneath. Figuring I had an extensive repair to make, I scrubbed it vigorously with Comet and a sponge. The scrape never touched the car's paint, and the Comet didn't even cut the glass coating's shine, which sustained a few shallow scratches which look like they will disappear with a local reapplication of the coating.
The low-VOC water-carried paints they mandate now may be fragile, but you have to admit they're beautiful. But we don't have to surrender to damage. Fight for your finish!
