Care for paint/exterior

I am interested to know the most economically but cost/benefit friendly options for protecting the paint and/or the exterior of the car in total. Vehicle: White 2009 2.4L VibeIf I were to go with a car bra, which one would be most recommended for good performance, seemless maintenance and most reliable. It needs to handle the cold as well (not sub -20F or anything, but definitely freezing).Otherwise, would it be better to invest in touch up paint or is there something else I could work with?Thank you!

Bras basically suck.No matter how they are made or what people claim, they affect the paint they "protect" and almost never for the good.Now, a sexy little number from Victoria's Secret, hmmm......

The vibe isn't known to have the best paint job. Go with a clear bra if you want front end protection

Magnetbra.com. Good concept. Paintable. Thicker protection than invisible bra... and less damage than soft bras.
