Body And Underbody Maintenance

Cleaning Headlights

Your vehicle is equipped with plastic headlights and fog

lights that are lighter and less susceptible to stone breakage

than glass headlights.
Plastic is not as scratch resistant as glass and therefore

different lens cleaning procedures must be followed.
To minimize the possibility of scratching the lenses and

reducing light output, avoid wiping with a dry cloth. To

remove road dirt, wash with a mild soap solution followed

by rinsing.
Do not use abrasive cleaning components, solvents, steel

wool or other aggressive material to clean the lenses.

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 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 removal of paint and decals.

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.
