Best you can do is keep it clean , waxed and polished.
Yup. The best protection against winter is a great detail right before the snow hits....I don't think this has anything to do with a perceived fragility to the paint.

Though....you shouldn't see gouges or anything horrible. Some hairline swirls and similar issues -- otherwise there's something beyond dirty ice at work, here.
