What is the best way to maintain the paint on a Toyota Highlander

I recently purchased a Toyota Highlander and I want to make sure the paint stays in good condition. What are some tips for maintaining the paint and preventing scratches or chips?

Regularly washing and waxing your vehicle can help protect the paint from damage and keep it looking new. Also, consider using a paint protection film or ceramic coating for added protection.

Avoid parking in direct sunlight for extended periods of time as the UV rays can damage the paint. If you do need to park in the sun, invest in a car cover.

Be cautious when using automatic car washes as they can cause scratches or swirl marks. Hand washing with a soft sponge or microfiber cloth is the best option.
