nothing will stop scratching completely other than a clear bra
That is probably the best thing for you. A clear bra will protect the paint and should last 5-7 years if done properly and the high quality product. It's not cheap, probably $1500- $3000 to do the car depending on how much of the car is done

I had Ceramic pro put on my Targa and I am very pleased. It is scratch resistant. but not scratch proof. It does make keeping the car clean easier.

There are other products as well. Nanoskin, opti-coat, CQuartz

You can do it yourself, but you need to make sure the paint is perfectly prepped and clean , including using a solvent or alcohol to remove all way and polish
YMMV
