Wheel And Wheel Trim Care
•
All wheels and wheel trim, especially alumi-
num and chrome plated wheels, should be
cleaned regularly with a mild soap and water
to prevent corrosion.
•
To remove heavy soil and/or excessive brake
dust, use MOPAR® Wheel Cleaner.
NOTE:
If your vehicle is equipped with Dark Vapor
or Black Satin Chrome wheels DO NOT USE
wheel cleaners, abrasives or polishing com-
pounds. They will permanently damage this
finish and such damage is not covered by
the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. USE
ONLY MILD SOAP AND WATER WITH A
SOFT CLOTH. Used on a regular basis this is
all that is required to maintain this finish.
CAUTION!
Do not use scouring pads, steel wool, a
bristle brush, or metal polishes. Do not use
oven cleaner. These products may damage
the wheel’s protective finish. Avoid automatic
car washes that use acidic solutions or harsh
brushes that may damage the wheel’s pro-
tective finish. Only MOPAR® Wheel Cleaner
or equivalent is recommended.
