Almost a 2 year owneship here. I find these cars have issues to small impacts, got to always be on alert. I don’t drive it in the winter. In those 2 years ive gotten a rock over the passenger door while passing a dump truck leaving a nice dent to the paint, passenger pillar also dented by a rock in my first month of ownership. Bouncing bolt in the middle of the hood leaving a story every few inches. My underbody just under driver’s seat has been impaled with an xtra long tent peg. The latest discovery in November was a 2 inch door dent on the rear panel just before the wheel

.
On small scratches cheap car wax works for me. I need to really look for the dent now that the offending vehicle paint is removed. Get touch up paint & use it on the big chips.
Thankfully my incidents did not break windows or flatted a tire.
My thoughts to pass by a detailer or dent repair always end with a new blemish…
Best you can do would be to leave space between vehicles you follow, hunt down end spots in parking lots, back into parking spots will also save the low front end, get a beater vehicle when you think you will be driving in hostile areas….
I just Fix the big damage & live with the small stuff.
