How do I properly maintain my Volkswagen Touareg's exterior finish?

I just bought a Volkswagen Touareg and want to make sure I keep it looking pristine. What steps should I take to maintain its exterior finish?

Regularly wash your vehicle with a high-quality car shampoo to keep dirt and grime from building up on the surface. Use a microfiber cloth to avoid scratching the paint.

Invest in a good wax or sealant to protect your Touareg's paint from environmental hazards like UV rays and acid rain. Make sure to apply it according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Consider investing in a ceramic coating for long-lasting protection and an extra shiny finish. Keep in mind that this can be a bit pricey, but well worth it for the level of protection it provides.

Don't forget to regularly clean and condition the exterior surfaces, such as plastics and rubber trim, to prevent fading and cracking.
