Special Care

once a month.

Many are potentially flammable, and if used in closed
areas they may cause respiratory harm.
PRESERVING THE BODYWORK

of the doors, rocker panels, and trunk be kept clear
and open.
Stain Repel Fabric Cleaning Procedure —
If Equipped
● 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 water.
● If you detect any stone chips or scratches in the
paint, touch them up immediately.
Stain Repel seats may be cleaned in the following
manner:
● If your vehicle is damaged due to a collision or
similar cause that destroys the paint and protective
coating, have your vehicle repaired as soon as
possible.
● Remove as much of the stain as possible by blotting
with a clean, dry towel.
● If insects, tar, or other similar deposits have
accumulated on your vehicle, use Mopar® Super
Kleen Bug and Tar Remover to remove.
● Blot any remaining stain with a clean, damp towel.
● Use a high quality cleaner wax, such as Mopar®
Cleaner Wax to remove road film, stains and to
protect your paint finish. Use precautions to not
scratch the paint.
● If you carry special cargo such as chemicals,
fertilizers, de-icer salt, etc., be sure that such
materials are well packaged and sealed.
● For tough stains, apply Mopar® Total Clean, or a
mild soap solution to a clean, damp cloth and
remove stain. Use a fresh, damp towel to remove
soap residue.
● If a lot of driving is done on gravel roads, consider
mud or stone shields behind each wheel.
● Avoid using abrasive compounds and power buffing
that may diminish the gloss or thin out the paint
finish.

Cleaner to a clean, damp cloth and remove stain.
