Dodge Charger: BODYWORK / Preserving The Bodywork

Dodge Charger 2011-2025 Owner's Manual / SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE / BODYWORK / 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.

Special Care

  • If you drive on salted or dusty roads or if you drive near the ocean, hose off the undercar- riage 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.
  • If you detect any stone chips or scratches in the paint, touch them up immediately.
  • If your vehicle is damaged due to a collision or similar cause that destroys the paint and protective coating, have your vehicle repaired as soon as possible.
  • If you carry special cargo such as chemicals, fertilizers, de-icer salt, etc., be sure that such materials are well packaged and sealed.
  • If a lot of driving is done on gravel roads, consider mud or stone shields behind each wheel.
  • Use Mopar® Touch Up Paint on scratches as soon as possible. An authorized dealer has touch up paint to match the color of your vehicle.
