Aggressive ding/scuff protection?

What do you do to keep your fit looking its best and protecting it from everyone else?

I always look for dingless parking way in the back or hug a curb.
For parallel parking i’m thinking of getting tow hooks to hopefully protect the front and especially rear bumpers a little more.

if you are just looking for casual protection get some expensive paint sealants that increase the hardness such as:
CQuartz Ceramic Quartz Paint Protection, CQuartz nano coating, nano paint sealant

If you are parallel parking all the time in an area where street parking, and it is a given that people will do bump-parking to get in, then you should invest in clearbra or other stick-on pieces of armor to your bumper on your driver sides.

i use griot's one-step sealant for paint protection against the natural elements.

for dings and scratches, i have tools to fix that, but since my car is a dd, i can't really prevent it much. i dont really park far away either. i try to park on a corner spot as much as possible.

for parallel parking, there are hanging rubber mats that attach to your trunk and stuff. maybe get something like that? luckily i dont live in the city and when i do go to the city, i just spend a tad of $ and use the parking garage.
