How do I properly maintain the paint on my BMW X8?

I just bought a new BMW X8 and I want to make sure the paint stays in pristine condition for as long as possible. What steps should I take to properly maintain the paint?

Regularly wash your car with a quality car shampoo and a microfiber wash mitt to avoid damaging the paint. Make sure to dry it thoroughly with a microfiber towel afterwards.

Apply a high-quality sealant or wax every few months to protect the paint from UV rays and environmental contaminants.

Invest in a paint protection film to add an extra layer of protection against scratches and chips.
