Cleaning the jack and jack rod.
Basic cleaning of the complete jack assembly is accomplished with the use of soap and water. Spaying the jacks with a spray wand at a car wash would be acceptable.
The only time a jack rod would need cleaning is if the jack has been extended for a period of time. The jack should not be extended just to clean the rod.
If the jack is extended, use soap and water or WD-40 on the jack rod then wipe the rod dry with a clean cloth.
