Only joking, you have beautiful cars, would love to have them. As for the Cayenne, well, I have accepted the beast... No, I actually LIKE the thing. If porsche is going to build an SUV, at least do it right, and they more then did it right, they did it excellently. I'd be proud to own the Cayenne if I were you, as I'm sure you are. Enjoy your Porsche's!

Here's one that's been out in the bush
That's my car after a day of off-roading on a ranch in Central Texas with Toby, Eurocarnut and geoffucla. It was a very fine day.

It's not as bad as it looks, mostly dust marks, but yes, there are some scratches that are visible in daylight if you look closely. Repaint? I don't think so. I plan to continue going off-road. I'm not going to get concerned with minor scratches. If I bend some sheetmetal I might fix that.

Yes, those long, squiggly, horizontal dust marks do look bad, until the vehicle is washed.

I don't know about invinca-shielding the entire doors and side of the truck, but what I have done is I took a roll of the magnetic sheeting that they use for vehicle signage (it comes in 3 foot width rolls) and made body armor with it. I've done all the doors and the rear quarter panels. The front quarter panels are tough because there is too much curvature, but if you add the factory bra, then there is less of the front quarter panel to do and it works fine. You might want to consider the bra for protection against scratches anyways for offroading because the hood and front bumper are not steel, so the magnetic sheeting won't work on them, but the bra does offer some protection for both.
