Car care
Cleaning
The car does not usually need polishing until
after one year. It can be waxed earlier.
Wash and dry the car thoroughly before you
begin polishing and/or waxing. Clean of
asphalt and tar stains with white spirit. More
stubborn marks can be removed with fine
rubbing paste designed for paintwork. Polish
first with a polish and then wax with fluid or
solid wax. Carefully follow the instructions on
the package. Many preparations contain both
polish and wax.
Do not polish or wax surfaces warmer than
45 °C.
Cleaning door mirrors and front
door windows with water-
repellent coating (option)
Never use products such as car wax,
degreaser or similar on mirror/glass surfaces
as this could ruin their water-repellent
properties.
Take care when cleaning so as not to
damage the glass surface.
To avoid damaging glass surfaces when
removing ice, – only use plastic ice scrapers.
There is natural wear of the water-repellent
coating.
NOTE!
Treatment with a special finishing
agent available from Volvo dealers is recom-
mended in order to maintain the water-
repellent properties. This should be used first
after three years and then each year.
IMPORTANT!
Paint treatment such as preserving,
sealing, protection, lustre sealing or
similar could damage the paintwork.
Paintwork damage caused by such
treatment is not covered by the Volvo
warranty.
