Stone and gravel impact.
Insects, tree sap, and tar.
Salt in the air near seacoast localities.
Atmospheric fallout/industrial pollutants.

Wash your vehicle regularly. Always wash your ve-
hicle in the shade using MOPAR Car Wash or a mild
car wash soap, and rinse the panels completely with
clear water.
If insects, tar, or other similar deposits have accumu-
lated on your vehicle, use MOPAR Super Kleen Bug
