What are some tips for maintaining the exterior of a Volkswagen T-Cross?

I've recently bought a Volkswagen T-Cross and I want to make sure that the exterior stays in good condition. How should I go about cleaning and taking care of it?

Regularly wash your T-Cross with a mild car wash soap to prevent dirt and debris from building up on the surface.

Invest in a good quality wax to protect the paint and give it a shiny finish.

Use a microfiber cloth when drying your car to avoid scratches and swirl marks.

Park your T-Cross in a shaded area or use a car cover to protect it from direct sunlight and harsh weather conditions.

Inspect and clean the wheels regularly to prevent brake dust and debris from damaging the rims.
