How do I properly maintain the exterior of my BMW X7?

I have recently purchased a BMW X7 and I want to make sure that the exterior is always in top condition. What steps should I take to maintain the appearance of my car?

Regularly wash your car with a mild soap and soft cloth to avoid scratching the paint. Be sure to dry it thoroughly afterwards to prevent water spots.

Invest in a good quality car wax and apply it every 3-6 months to protect the paint and give your car a shiny finish.

Avoid parking your car under trees or in direct sunlight for extended periods of time to prevent damage from falling debris or UV rays.
