Jeep Wrangler: Preserving The Bodywork / 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.
- 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 responsibility
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 repaired
as soon as possible. The cost of such repairs
is considered the responsibility of the owner.
- If you carry special cargo such as chemicals,
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.
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...
To maintain the appearance of your vehicle's
interior trim and top, follow these precautions:
Do not run a fabric top through an automatic
car wash...
