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
chemicals that are sprayed on trees and road
surfaces during other seasons, are highly corro-
sive to the metal in your vehicle. Outside park-
ing, which exposes your vehicle to airborne
contaminants, road surfaces on which the ve-
hicle is operated, extreme hot or cold weather
and other extreme conditions will have an ad-
verse 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.
Washing
•
Wash your vehicle regularly. Always wash
your vehicle in the shade using MOPAR Car
Wash, or 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, use MOPAR
Super Kleen Bug and Tar Remover to
remove.
•
Use a high quality cleaner wax, such as
MOPAR Cleaner Wax to remove road film,
stains and to protect your paint finish. 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.
CAUTION!
•
Do not use abrasive or strong cleaning
materials such as steel wool or scouring
powder that will scratch metal and painted
surfaces.
•
Use of power washers exceeding 1,200 psi
(8 274 kPa) can result in damage or re-
moval of paint and decals.
Wheel And Wheel Trim Care
All wheels and wheel trim, especially aluminum
and chrome plated wheels, should be cleaned
regularly using mild (neutral Ph) soap and water
to maintain their luster and to prevent corrosion.
Wash wheels with the same soap solution rec-
ommended for the body of the vehicle.
Your wheels are susceptible to deterioration
caused by salt, sodium chloride, magnesium
chloride, calcium chloride, etc., and other road
chemicals used to melt ice or control dust on dirt
roads. Use a soft cloth or sponge and mild soap
to wipe away promptly. Do not use harsh chemi-
cals or a stiff brush. They can damage the
wheel’s protective coating that helps keep them
from corroding and tarnishing.
NOTE:
Many aftermarket wheel cleaners contain
strong acids or strong alkaline additives that
can harm the wheel surface.
CAUTION!
Avoid products or automatic car washes that
use acidic solutions or strong alkaline addi-
tives or harsh brushes. These products and
automatic car washes may damage the
wheel’s protective finish. Such damage is not
covered by the New Vehicle Limited War-
ranty. Only car wash soap, MOPAR Wheel
Cleaner or equivalent is recommended.
When cleaning extremely dirty wheels including
excessive brake dust, care must be taken in the
selection of tire and wheel cleaning chemicals
and equipment to prevent damage to the
wheels.
