2024 MYLR in MSM

(OOPS - previously posted in X instead of Y):

White is better for Texas sun and heat, but white vehicles are so common here. I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on a(n) MYLR and I've been leaning heavily toward Ultra Red. However, the more I research the Y, the more I hear a common refrain...PPF or ceramic. I've waxed my cars and I even once got snookered by a finance manager for Teflon protection at delivery, along with a maintenance kit that never left the carton. Since I've already decided against aftermarket protection and the associated costs, is a "naked" Pearl White at least a little better than Ultra Red so I don't cringe every time I see my "new" car after the first week? I've always been a stickler on parking far out in parking lots and upwind/uphill from shopping carts abandoned by irresponsible shoppers, but I DO have to drive and there WILL be road debris. Thanks for your help!
