how do you deal with road debris dings?

Everytime I wash my car I see a new small dings from rocks on the front bumper (paint) somewhere - usually at the level of the fogs. They are noticeable even if you're not looking for them (because mine is white). Would a clear bra even prevent impacts like this at speed? Does it go down that far? How much does it cost w/ install? I may have to consider this option now.

Do you guys just ignore the stone chips (black dots on a white car are hard to ignore)? Use a paint pen? I had the dealer buff out a scratch once and he paint-pen'd a spot and while it is only noticeable if looking for it, I don't want these mismatches all over the front of my vehicle. Never had to deal with this before as my previous car wasn't painted all the way down there.
