For prevention, yes 3M Clear Bra would be a good choice.
However, good news! 3M released a new product (paint defender) recently, that works like the clear bra, but is spray on, and a fraction of the cost.
I have not seen any reviews on it yet, but if I didn't recently get a clear bra installed on my new car, you can bet I would have given this a try...

Sooo, I would go over it with the Dr. Color Chip kit, fix the paint chips to the best of your ability, and then try out the 3M Paint Defender for future prevention...
As for the Clear Bra, you get mixed reviews yes, but I have had one installed for about 3 weeks now, and I can say it has been tremendous. A lot of the negative reviews come from people who fail to take care of the clear bra or have some off-brand material installed... In short, if you don't maintain it, yes, it will turn into a brown pile of shit in a few years. But if you do maintain it, there is nothing to worry about. Also, from certain angles you can see portions of the lines of the clear bra on the hood, but it's really no big deal. Here is a super close up of my hood, and notice the line (barley observable): http://i.imgur.com/e0PywKa.jpg Here is a side shot (the clear bra goes about half way up the fender as well- you can't notice it at all here): http://i.imgur.com/78fHEoj.jpg
Also, I can tell you that this has already saved the front portion of my car from what would've been at least 3 very heavy rock chips.
Edit: I just noticed the 3M Paint Defender kit is sold out and listed as an Amazon exclusive... it must be doing pretty well.
My 2013 Genesis Coupe has significant chips in the paint. I'd recommend getting a clear bra, or something to protect it.
I just bought the 3M Paint Defender System to hopefully stop further damage.
I don't know what the heck I looked at. Anyways, is this the kit you're talking about: http://www.amazon.com/3M-90100-Paint-Defender-System/dp/B00CCOBOI4
