There is nothing you can do. It will happen anyway. The underlying problem is that 'soft' water-based paints are now used for environmental safety.

Flat colours are a marriage made in heaven for swirls and Flat Black, is flatly the best for this. Metallic paints fare much better. Best Silver and Grey Metallics.

And please don't bother with paint protection. It's money wasted. I've done the rounds with these products and they are all pretty hopeless.

I also have a Red Mk6 Golf GTI and it has been a PITA to maintain. I am scared to wash it now! Never, ever again.
