How do you protect red car paint?

Just got a brand new Jeep Mercenary with a dope red paint job. I live in Nevada, and we get some harsh sun. How could I protect the paint on my car?

Sounds like you have a sweet ride! It makes sense you’d want to protect it.
The best preventative measure to keep your paint from fading is to park it in a covered garage, away from the elements. Keeping the car out of the sun will decelerate any paint fade due to UV exposure, especially in the desert. For
general maintenance
and to prevent scratches, make sure to polish and clean your vehicle regularly to reduce dirt build-up.
