Wheel And Wheel Trim Care
All wheels and wheel trim, especially aluminum and
chrome plated wheels, should be cleaned regularly
using mild (neutral Ph) soap and water to maintain
their luster and to prevent corrosion. Wash wheels
with the same soap solution recommended for the
body of the vehicle and remember to always wash
when the surfaces are not hot to the touch.
Your wheels are susceptible to deterioration caused
by salt, sodium chloride, magnesium chloride, cal-
cium chloride, etc., and other road chemicals used
to melt ice or control dust on dirt roads. Use a soft
cloth or sponge and mild soap to wipe away
promptly. Do not use harsh chemicals or a stiff
brush. They can damage the wheel’s protective
coating that helps keep them from corroding and
tarnishing.
CAUTION!
Avoid products or automatic car washes that use
acidic solutions or strong alkaline additives or
harsh brushes. Many aftermarket wheel cleaners
and automatic car washes may damage the
wheel's protective finish. Such damage is not
covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
CAUTION!
Only car wash soap, Mopar Wheel Cleaner or
equivalent is recommended.
When cleaning extremely dirty wheels including ex-
cessive brake dust, care must be taken in the selec-
tion of tire and wheel cleaning chemicals and equip-
ment to prevent damage to the wheels. Mopar
Wheel Treatment or Mopar Chrome Cleaner or
their equivalent is recommended or select a non-
abrasive, non-acidic cleaner for aluminum or
chrome wheels.
CAUTION!
Do not use scouring pads, steel wool, a bristle
brush, metal polishes or oven cleaner. These
products may damage the wheel's protective
finish. Such damage is not covered by the New
Vehicle Limited Warranty. Only car wash soap,
Mopar Wheel Cleaner or equivalent is recom-
mended.
NOTE:
If you intend parking or storing your vehicle for an
extended period after cleaning the wheels with
wheel cleaner, drive your vehicle and apply the
brakes to remove the water droplets from the brake
components. This activity will remove the red rust
on the brake rotors and prevent vehicle vibration
when braking.
Dark Vapor Chrome, Black Satin Chrome, or
Low Gloss Clear Coat Wheels
CAUTION!
If your vehicle is equipped with these specialty
wheels, DO NOT USE wheel cleaners, abra-
sives, or polishing compounds. They will perma-
nently damage this finish and such damage is not
covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
HAND WASH ONLY USING MILD SOAP
AND WATER WITH A SOFT CLOTH. Used
on a regular basis; this is all that is required to
maintain this finish.
