Paint and Trim
Your vehicle is exposed to the corrosive effects of chemi-
cal fall out, salt spray, and road film. To protect not only
the paint and trim, but also exposed mountings and
fixtures, it is important you wash it often and thoroughly.
After washing, allow all surfaces to drain and dry before
parking in a closed garage. Prompt washing may not
thoroughly remove these deposits. Additional cleaners
may be required. When using chemical cleaners formu-
lated for this purpose, be certain they are safe for use on
urethane painted surfaces.
Use soap and water on dull black window trim. Polish or
cleaners may leave a white residue. If desired, you may
polish your vehicle immediately by using Mopar Auto-
mobile Polish.
Glass Surfaces
All glass surfaces should be cleaned regularly with any
commercial household-type glass cleaner. Never use an
abrasive type cleaner.
Cleaning Plastic Instrument Cluster Lenses
When cleaning the lenses, use care to avoid scratching
the plastic.
NOTE: Never scrape the windows with squeegees,
razor blades, or other sharp instruments.
•
Clean with a wet soft rag. A mild soap solution may be
used, but do not use high alcohol content or abrasive
cleaners. If using soap, wipe clean with a clean damp
rag or chamois cloth.
•
Dry with a soft tissue.
Damage to the Body Finish
Any stone chips, fractures or deep scratches in the finish
should be promptly repaired.
