How to properly maintain the painted exterior of a Kia Stonic?

I just got a Kia Stonic and I want to make sure that the paint stays in good condition. What are some necessary steps and precautions I should take?

Regularly wash your car with mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh chemicals that can damage the paint.

Apply a sealant or wax after washing to protect the paint and give it a glossy shine.

Avoid parking under trees or near areas with excessive bird droppings, as they can damage the paint.
