PT Cruiser Applique Discoloration

Figure 2–Discoloration most commonly occurs in the B-pillar and C-pillar appliques. Figure 3–Apply a "dime sized" amount of Swirl Free Cleaner to the cloth. Figure 4–Rub the cloth and cleaner on the affected area. Figure 5–A cotton towel works best when removing the residual cleaner.

Figure 1– Discoloration on the PT Cruiser applique appears as a haze or blue iridescent spots.

Required Repair Materials

To repair the damage, the following materials are required:

• Mopar Swirl Free Cleaner, part number 05017020AA
• Microfiber cloth
• 100% cotton towel (clean and dry)

Performing The Repair

Before beginning the repair procedure, make sure the applique is cool and dry. Next, apply a small amount of the Mopar Swirl Free Cleaner to the microfiber cloth (see Figure 3). Rub the cleaner into a small section of the applique and continue rubbing until it is nearly dry. Repeat this process on the entire applique (see Figure 4).

Allow the entire applique to dry. This will take about two minutes. Next, using the clean cotton towel, wipe off any remaining cleaner residue (See Figure 5).

Repeat this procedure for any of the remaining appliques that have discoloration.
