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 re-
move.

• 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.

CAUTION!

• 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 undercar-
riage at least once a month.

• It is important that the drain holes in the

lower edges of the doors, rocker panels, and
trunk be kept clear and open.

• If you detect any stone chips or scratches in

the paint, touch them up immediately. The
cost of such repairs is considered the re-
sponsibility of the owner.

• If your vehicle is damaged due to a collision

or similar cause that destroys the paint and
protective coating, have your vehicle re-
paired as soon as possible. The cost of such
repairs is considered the responsibility of
the owner.

• If you carry special cargo such as chemi-

cals, fertilizers, de-icer salt, etc., be sure
that such materials are well packaged and
sealed.

• If a lot of driving is done on gravel roads,

consider mud or stone shields behind each
wheel.

• Use Mopar Touch Up Paint on scratches as

soon as possible. An authorized dealer has
touch up paint to match the color of your
vehicle.

Appearance Care For Fabric Top Models

To maintain the appearance of your vehicle's
interior trim and top, follow these precau-
tions:

• Avoid leaving your vehicle unattended with

the top down, as exposure to sun or rain
may damage interior trim.

• Do not use harsh cleaners or bleaching

agents on top material, as damage may
result.

• Do not allow any vinyl cleaner to run down

and dry on the paint, leaving a streak.
