What is the best way to maintain the exterior of a Toyota Highlander?

I recently purchased a Toyota Highlander and I want to make sure I keep the exterior looking great. What are some tips for maintaining the paint and preventing any scratches or damage?

Regularly wash your Toyota Highlander with a mild soap and water to keep dirt and debris from building up on the paint. Also, use a microfiber cloth to dry your car and avoid any harsh chemicals.

Invest in a good quality car wax and apply it at least twice a year. This will not only give your car a glossy finish but also protect the paint from UV rays and other environmental damage.

Be mindful of parking in areas with overhanging trees or near construction sites where debris can fall onto your car. Regularly check for any scratches or chips and use touch-up paint to fix them before they turn into bigger problems.
