What are the best ways to maintain the exterior of a Toyota Corolla?

I just got a Toyota Corolla and I want to make sure it stays looking great for as long as possible. What are some tips for keeping the exterior clean and in good condition?

Regularly wash and wax the car to protect the paint from dirt and UV rays.

Avoid parking under trees to prevent sap and bird droppings from damaging the paint.

Invest in a car cover for added protection, especially in harsh weather conditions.
