When cleaning extremely dirty wheels including excessive brake dust, care must be taken in the
selection of tire and wheel cleaning chemicals and equipment 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. Do not use any
products on Dark Vapor or Black Satin Chrome Wheels. They will permanently damage this finish
and such damage is not covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
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
recommended.
NOTE:
If you intend parking or storing your vehicle for an extended period after cleaning the wheels with
wheel cleaner, drive your vehicle for a few minutes before doing so. Driving the vehicle and
applying the brakes when stopping will reduce the risk of brake rotor corrosion.
Dark Vapor Or Black Satin Chrome Wheels
If your vehicle is equipped with Dark Vapor or Black Satin Chrome wheels DO NOT USE
wheel cleaners, abrasives or polishing compounds. 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!
