I worrie about the long term effects of the magnesium cloride they use in the winter has on the paint.

Garm sells a Canadian mkt hood deflector. I have it about a year now and it looks and protects quite well.

Any difference in durability with paint color, or basic color vs. 'metallic'? My old Corolla has tough black paint that often gets scuffed, but seldom scratched through.

The clear coat on my car got all scuffed up when I scrubbed some bug spots a bit too hard with a cheap sponge... I haven't tried the scratchx yet - but I'm guessing that will help.

Is there any specific wax or polish that I can use to help protect the paint a bit better?

The paint def sucks - my Yaris 2010 is just a bit over 2 months old - and after 6 days a week of commuting (250KMs a day) - the front is starting to show signs of wear - I am eagerly waiting 2 see what you guys are going to do - at some point I know I'm going to have to attempt a warranty claim

It seems it varies alot from car to car, I got 34k on my green sedan and the
paint is holding up very well, and I dont baby my car.
