How do I maintain the paint on my Ford S-Max's hood?

I recently noticed some scratches on the hood of my Ford S-Max. What is the best way to maintain the paint to prevent further scratches and maintain the overall appearance of the car?

Regularly wash and wax your car to protect the paint from scratches and maintain its shine.

Avoid parking your car in direct sunlight for extended periods of time to prevent fading of the paint.
