Ordered the silver R/T with leather, convenience group and security group on March 16…so the wait is on. I haven’t come across this question yet, so I thought I’d post it. Is the black trim as vulnerable to wax as most other cars?
Thanks

I don't know about wax. But don't clean your Chrysler's trim with wax. Or even attempt to make it look good with wax. Dish soap and water makes Chrysler's Trim look like no other.

There's lots of "clear coat" waxes now, instead of the chalky paste.

So if some of this clear coat wax happens to get on the black plastic trim, it won't mark it all up. That's amazing. It's been a long time since I bought a can of wax, I stopped waxing my 1995 Jeep around six years ago.
Thanks for the help.

Currently on my 3rd Jeep... (YJ, TJ, now Liberty)...I know the feeling.

hope you meant that in a GOOD way...!!!!
cuz dish soap is the last thing you want to wash your car with. its too harsh on the finish.

A good thing to "clean" your trim is to use a light coating of oil, motor, or canola (Canola is cleaner) This helps protect against oxygenation and keeps it looking "wet" for days.

If you really loved your Cali. maybe a little sented massage oil.

I think our fellow forum member "Bang" has already done that; verifiable by anyone who has seen that photo he posted of him "standing" behind HIS Caliber...

My fault. I thought we were talking about interior trim. Not exterior. D-oh!
