How to protect lower spolier corners from scuffs??

Well....I am disappointed.

New paint and body not 4 months ago on my 91 that gets driven only every other weekend.

Now i noted an ugly scuff driver side lower spoiler corner. The paint there cracked and peeled up too....which unfortunately my indicate the body shop did not use a flex additive in the pain there.

I've driven this car ten yrs now and have been super careful on dips, bumps, etc. As careful as I am though I still couldnt avoid this recent scar.

Its lowered modestly with eibach prokit coils.

Anyone seen anything available or heard any tricks for protecting these sensitive lower spoiler corners???

This is a paint protectant but if your scuffs come from pavement, the pavment will eat right through it. The only real protection is slow driving, air ride, or adjust to a higher ride hight. The shop probably did not use flex agent, however, the two leading paint makers (PPG,RM) no longer use flex agents in current formulations.
