Appearance Care And Protection From Corrosion - Jeep Cherokee 2014 Owner's Manual

578 MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE
Rinse the area with warm water. If the stain is still
apparent, repeat the cleaning procedure. When the stain is
no longer showing, rinse the complete top with warm
water. Let the top dry before opening it.
Protection
For appearance purposes, you may wish to protect the
acrylic (cloth) top periodically. A fabric protectant such as
Scotchguard® is suggested. The top should be clean and
dry before application of the protectant.
CAUTION!
Avoid getting Scotchguard® on the surrounding
weather strips, moldings, paint, or glass. Damage to
these items might occur.
Weather Strip Care
Lubricate the weather strips periodically with MOPAR®
Weather Strip Lubricant or equivalent, to keep them soft
and pliable.

Appearance Care And Protection From Corrosion

Protection Of Body And Paint From Corrosion
Vehicle body care requirements vary according to geo-
graphic locations and usage. Chemicals that make roads
passable in snow and ice and those that are sprayed on
trees and road surfaces during other seasons are highly
corrosive to the metal in your vehicle. Outside parking,
which exposes your vehicle to airborne contaminants,
road surfaces on which the vehicle is operated, extreme
hot or cold weather and other extreme conditions will
have an adverse effect on paint, metal trim, and under-
body protection.
