How to properly maintain the exterior of a Toyota Corolla?

I recently bought a Toyota Corolla and I want to make sure the exterior stays in good condition. Are there any specific maintenance tips or products that I should use? Thanks in advance for your advice!

Regularly wash your car with a gentle soap and water to remove dirt and debris that could damage the paint.

Invest in a good quality wax and apply it every few months to protect the paint from fading and scratches.

To avoid paint damage, park your car in a shaded area or use a car cover if parking outdoors for an extended period of time.

Avoid using harsh chemicals on your car's exterior as they can strip off the protective wax and damage the paint.

Regularly inspect and touch up any scratches or chips in the paint to prevent rust from forming.
