How do I keep the exterior of my Kia Sportage from getting damaged?

I just purchased a Kia Sportage and I want to make sure I keep it looking like new. What steps can I take to prevent scratches, dents, and other damage to the exterior of my car?

Invest in a car cover to protect your Kia Sportage from the harsh elements.

Regularly wash and wax your car to maintain its shine and protect against potential damage.

Avoid parking too close to other cars or objects to minimize the chance of door dings or scratches.

Consider investing in paint protection film to protect your car's paint from rocks and debris.
