How do I properly maintain the exterior of my Audi R8?

I recently purchased an Audi R8 and I want to make sure I am taking proper care of the exterior. What are your recommendations for maintenance and protection?

First and foremost, regularly wash your car using a gentle car shampoo. This will help remove any dirt or debris that can cause damage to the paint. Also, make sure to dry your car completely afterwards to prevent water spots.

Invest in a good quality wax or sealant to protect the paint from UV rays, pollution, and other contaminants. Apply a new coat at least twice a year to maintain optimal protection.

Be mindful of where you park your car. Avoid parking under trees or near construction sites as they can cause damage to your car's finish.
