What is your car maintenance routine? What products do you use? How often do you wash, wax, polish, clay etc? Do you use a product on the tires? How do you protect the black bumper from fading? What do you use on the interior? How do you keep the door gaskets supple so that they don’t dry out? Thanks!

If you don’t want to do a ceramic coating then the best spray product I’ve used is griots garage 3 in1 ceramic spray. For any plastic trim, they make a ceramic coating specifically for trim.

Clay once a year typically due to sugar cane grinding season.
Try to wash once a month with chemical guys citrus wash or griots brilliant finish, and apply turtle wax ceramic spray coating each time or every other time. Usually lasts decently between washes. That’s the best spray wax I’ve found within reason of price and it’s extremely easy to use.
Try to wax twice a year with Collinite 845 also, which is a very tough wax.
The best tire and black plastic product I’ve found is chemical guys tire kicker. Hands down.
Chemical guys and mothers make a good interior product too.
I’ve never seen a door gasket dry out on a car that’s used regularly, but it’s important to avoid putting products with petroleum distillates on any rubber, including tires and gaskets. A lot of tire shine products are made with petroleum distillates and it gives you that nice wet black look, but it’s also deteriorating your rubber. Find products that are silicone based instead.
Also, if you have Michelin their tires are made with compounds that condition the rubber as you drive.

I have used collinite as referenced above, I use the marine wax because as l am looking for max protection not shine, lasts forever and easy to apply.
Hope this helps
