Truck goes into paint friday. Apple red. All new trim or mostly new.

I drive about 80 miles a day, and usually park in a dusty gravel lot with 400 other cars. As of now, i wash the thing twice a week or so. I like it clean...

Ive had new cars and trucks, but i think 9 times out of 10, a factory paintjob will outlast a redo...thats debatable i know.

Im mainly worried about rock chips, normal wear and tear, what are your tips on keeping a daily driven freshly painted truck?

Is there a certain product you use, or maybe a clear plastic that goes on the front of the hood, tips on where to park? Lets hear em!
