How can I prevent my neighbour from 'keying' my car?

I just purchased a new car and I have an adorable young neighbour who takes great pleasure in keying any car that I own. Yes, I know the obvious responses, but that really isn't an option, as he's too well connected with local gangs. Anyway, does anyone know of a product that may offer some kind of resistance to keying? Occasionally a knife is used, so it would need to be pretty damn resilient.

It's impossible to guard against that. Best thing to do is buy a bashed and scratched car cheaply. No point in paying extra for a car in good condition.
