Jeep Wrangler: 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 water.
- If insects, tar, or other similar deposits have
accumulated on your vehicle, use Mopar®
Super Kleen Bug and Tar Remover to remove.
- 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.
- 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.
- Use of power washers exceeding 1,200 psi
(8,274 kPa) can result in damage or
removal of paint and decals.
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...
Other information:
If your vehicle is equipped with LED fog lamps
they are replaced as an assembly.

See below steps to replace:
Remove interior trim panel cap to access
single retaining screw for tail lamp
assembly.
Trim Cap
Remove retaining screw and disconnect
electrical connector, then remove tail lamp
assembly from the vehicle...
The cap must be fully tightened to prevent loss
of engine coolant (antifreeze), and to ensure
that engine coolant will return to the radiator
from the coolant expansion bottle/recovery
tank if so equipped.
The cap should be inspected and cleaned if
there is any accumulation of foreign material on
the sealing surfaces...
