How to prevent scratches on the Kia Sportage exterior?

I recently purchased a Kia Sportage and want to keep its exterior looking pristine for as long as possible. I've heard that the paint on these cars is prone to scratches. Is there any way to prevent this?

Invest in a high-quality car cover to protect your Sportage from outside elements and potential scratches.

Apply a ceramic coating to your car's paint. This will add an extra layer of protection against scratches.

Be mindful of where you park your car. Avoid parking it near trees or bushes that could potentially scratch the paint.
