Maintaining The Car’s Exterior
It may be a shameless plug, but I just wrote up this article:

Could you guys please let me know your thoughts about it? I can make corrections and updates to it!

Most of what you posted looked pretty good. I would add a few other steps:
...Never follow a dump truck closely (or other large trucks), especially in and near construction and road-work areas. It's just asking for debris-damage.
....if you see a severe storm coming up, or other weather that could cause damage, head for the nearest covered parking-lot, or wherever the vehicle is protected overhead.
......Winter salt can at least be washed off, but try to avoid the winter abrasives on the road a much as possible....when kicked up by tires, they can cause paint and trim damage.
.......Try not to park in areas where you see lots of teens or unruly kids congregate. Kids often have more time on their hands than sense, and sometimes love to vandalize or do pranks.
If you do get minor paint scratches, discoloration, or imperfections, SCRATCH-OUT is an excellent product. I've used it for many years, with excellent results.

Thanks mmarshall for the quick review and encouraging words!
I've updated the post with your suggestions and learned some new things in the process
I didn't know about SCRATCH-OUT; seems very nifty! I think I can use it on my black car sometime.
