Preserving The Bodywork
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 clean 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 and 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.
Special Care
• If you drive on salted or dusty roads or if you drive near
the
ocean, hose off the undercarriage at least once a month.
• It is important that the drain holes in the lower edges of the
doo
rs, rocker panels, and trunk be kept clear and open.
• If you detect any stone chips or scratches in the paint,
tou
ch them up immediately. The cost of such repairs is
considered the responsibility of the owner.
• If your vehicle is damaged due to a collision or similar
cau
se that destroys the paint and protective coating, have
your vehicle repaired as soon as possible. The cost of such
repairs is considered the responsibility of the owner.
• If you carry special cargo such as chemicals, fertilizers,
de-
icer salt, etc., be sure that such materials are well pack-
aged and sealed.
• I
f a lot of driving is done on gravel roads, consider mud or
sto
ne shields behind each wheel.
• Use Mopar Touch Up Paint on scratches as soon as
pos
sible. An authorized dealer has touch up paint to
match the color of your vehicle.
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)
