How do I maintain the exterior of my Kia Stonic?

I just bought a 2021 Kia Stonic and I want to keep the exterior looking as good as new. What is the best way to maintain the exterior of my Stonic?

Regularly wash your car with a mild car shampoo and a soft sponge. This will remove any dirt or grime without damaging the paint.

Invest in a good quality wax or sealant and apply it at least twice a year. This will protect the paint from UV rays and other environmental factors.

When washing your car, pay extra attention to the wheels and undercarriage. These areas tend to accumulate dirt and salt, which can cause corrosion.

Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cloths when cleaning your car. These can scratch or damage the paint, making it more susceptible to damage.

Consider using a ceramic coating or paint protection film for added protection. These products provide a long-lasting barrier against scratches and environmental damage.
