What is the best way to protect my Toyota RAV4's paint from scratches?

I just bought a brand new Toyota RAV4 and I want to keep the paint looking perfect. Any tips or suggestions for preventing scratches or other damage?

I highly recommend investing in a high-quality car cover to protect your RAV4's paint. This will provide an extra layer of protection from any potential scratches or dings.

Another tip is to avoid parking your car in areas with heavy foot traffic or near trees. This will reduce the chances of someone accidentally brushing against your car or tree branches scratching the paint.

Regularly applying a ceramic coating or wax to your car can also help protect the paint from scratches and other damage. These products create a barrier between your car's paint and outside elements.

Be careful when using automated car washes, as they can sometimes cause scratches on your car's paint. It might be worth washing your RAV4 by hand to ensure it's done gently and safely.
