Appearance Care and Protection from
Corrosion
Protection of Body and Paint from Corrosion
Vehicle body care requirements vary according to
geographic locations and usage. Chemicals that
make roads passable in snow and ice, and those
that are sprayed on trees and road surfaces
during other seasons, are highly corrosive to the
metal in your vehicle. Outside parking, which
exposes your vehicle to airborne contaminants,
road surfaces on which the vehicle is operated,
extreme hot or cold weather and other extreme
conditions will have an adverse effect on paint,
metal trim, and underbody protection.
The following maintenance recommendations will
enable you to obtain maximum benefit from the
corrosion resistance built into your vehicle.
What Causes Corrosion?
Corrosion is the result of deterioration or removal
of paint and protective coatings from your vehicle.
The most common causes are:
•
Road salt, dirt and moisture accumulation.
•
Stone and gravel impact.
•
Insects, tree sap and tar.
•
Salt in the air near sea-coast localities.
•
Atmospheric fallout/industrial pollutants.
Washing
•
Wash your vehicle regularly. Always wash your
vehicle in the shade using a mild car wash
soap, and rinse the panels completely with
clear water.
•
If insects, tar or other similar deposits have
accumulated on your vehicle, wash it as soon
as possible.
•
Use Mopar auto polish to remove road film and
stains and to polish your vehicle. Take care
never to scratch the paint.
•
Avoid using abrasive compounds and power
buffing that may diminish the gloss or thin out
the paint finish.
