Dodge Charger: BODYWORK / Body And Underbody Maintenance
Cleaning Headlights
Your vehicle is equipped with plastic headlights and fog lights that are lighter
and less susceptible to stone breakage than glass headlights.
Plastic is not as scratch resistant as glass and therefore different lens cleaning
procedures must be followed.
To minimize the possibility of scratching the lenses and reducing light output,
avoid wiping with a dry cloth. To remove road dirt, wash with a mild soap solution
followed by rinsing. Do not use abrasive cleaning components, solvents, steel wool
or other aggressive material to clean the lenses.
Vehicle body care requirements vary according to geographic 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...
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...

warming effect on the engine...
