I don't think there is much difference between Meade & Celestron OTA paint jobs - they're both good.
I have a C6 and a C11 - the best advice I could give is to regularly use a good automotive wax polish on the mount, tripod & OTA (but keep it well clear of the optics!).
My kit looks as good as the day I bought it!
