When it comes to maintenance, keep the car away from dust and dirt. You can use a soft, dry cloth to wipe it down occasionally. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the paint or the body. If you notice any loose parts, handle them carefully and, if needed, consult the manufacturer for replacement options. Also, be aware that the picture might show a different road number, so don't be surprised if your car's number doesn't match the image.
