I'm a modded G35S sedan owner...buying a 370z in March. I have the same issue with soft Nissan paint. Hate it...but I combat it with frequent (bi monthly) details that keep it looking new.
I'm going to wrap my entire car (as I just had both bumpers painted) thru Sticker City here in Los Angeles. It's a GREAT way to change the color and protect the paint from chips and also door dings. They are so good at wrapping (Lambos, Bentley, Porsche, etc) that you can't even see the wrap lines...and it's guaranteed for 3 years. And you can wash and wax it till your hearts content.
My sedan will only cost 2k - and i'm going with a very cool, subtle gunmetal metallic.
Just a thought versus clear bra - and less expensive than a 5k amazing paint job. Another option is Cilajet coating - used on all commercial aircraft. About 900 for an entire car. Won't have to wax for about 10 years.
