Car care
Car care includes not only maintaining the appearance of the car, but also protecting the car exterior
from the effects of air pollution, rain, mud or road salt. The paintwork should also be touched up
immediately, if damaged, to prevent rust formation.

Paint touch-up
Paint damage requires immediate attention to avoid rusting. Make it a habit to check the finish regularly
- when washing the car for instance. Touch up if necessary.
Paint repairs require special equipment and skill. Contact your Volvo retailer for any extensive damage.
Minor scratches can be repaired by using Volvo touch-up paint.
NOTE: When ordering touch-up paint from your Volvo retailer, use the paint code indicated on the
model plate. The plate is located on the panel above the right-side head lights.
