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 recommended
for the body of the vehicle.
Your wheels are susceptible to deterioration caused by salt, sodium chloride, mag-
nesium 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 chemicals 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 alka-
line additives or harsh brushes. Many aftermarket wheel cleaners and automatic
car washes may damage the wheel's protective finish. Such damage is not cov-
ered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. 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 pre-
vent damage to the wheels. Mopar Wheel Treatment, Mopar Chrome Cleaner, or
their equivalent is recommended or select a non-abrasive, non-acidic cleaner for
aluminum or chrome wheels. Do not use any products on Dark Vapor or Black
Satin Chrome Wheels. They will permanently damage this finish and such damage
is not covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
CAUTION!
Do not use scouring pads, steel wool, a bristle brush, metal polishes or oven
cleaner. These products may damage the wheel's protective finish. Such damage
is not covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. Only car wash soap, Mopar
Wheel Cleaner or equivalent is recommended.
NOTE:
If you intend parking or storing your vehicle for an extended period after cleaning the
wheels with wheel cleaner, drive your vehicle for a few minutes before doing so. Driving
the vehicle and applying the brakes when stopping will reduce the risk of brake rotor
corrosion.
