I'll stick with aerosols myself.

Anything other than spraying onto the shell after the paint has gone on is asking for problems.
If you really want to protect the body then after the clear coat (protective layer, whatever you choose to use) has dried thoroughy apply fender mender/shu goo to the impact areas of the body. It leaves a rubbery feel but is super tough and will help the bodies last much much longer (sorta like duracell for your car body
)
downside: it adds alot of weight to the body.
Personally I dont protect anymore than the clear because once youve hit enough corners and rubbed the body that much that the paint wears away its usually time for a new body anyway. From the guys Ive seen racing my bodies, I've seen crushed front ends, huge rips and allsorts and the paint is still on so no need to add anything further.
