How to keep my Audi clean and shiny?

I recently bought a new Audi and want to keep it looking like new for as long as possible. What steps can I take to maintain its shine and prevent scratches and swirl marks?

Congratulations on your new Audi, Samantha! To maintain its shine, make sure to regularly wash your car with a mild car soap and avoid using harsh brushes or sponges. When drying, use a clean microfiber cloth to prevent scratching. You can also apply a ceramic coating to protect against environmental damage. Be sure to also avoid parking under trees or in direct sunlight for extended periods of time.
