cm). Do not spray into the locks.
Bird droppings/Tree sap
Remove from paintwork as soon as possible. Otherwise the finish may be permanently damaged.
Chromed parts
Stains on chrome trim can be removed with commercially available chrome cleaner. Do not use abrasive compounds or steel wool.
Polishing (waxing)
Normally, polishing is not required during the first year after delivery. Waxing may be beneficial. Before applying polish or wax the car must be washed and dried. Tar spots can be removed with kerosene or tar remover. Difficult spots may require a fine rubbing compound.
After polishing use liquid or paste wax.
Several commercially available products contain both polish and wax. Waxing alone does not substitute for polishing of a dull surface. A wide range of polymer based car waxes can be purchased today. The waxes are easy to use and produce a long lasting high gloss finish which protects the bodywork against oxidation, road dirt and fading.
Cleaning the upholstery
The fabric can be cleaned with soapy water or a mild detergent. For more difficult spots caused by oil, ice cream, shoe polish, grease, etc., use a stain remover.
The plastic in the upholstery can be washed with soapy water or a mild detergent. Leather upholstery can be cleaned with a soft cloth and mild soap solution.
For more difficult spots, consult your Volvo dealer.
On no account must gasoline, naphtha or similar cleaning agents be used on the plastic or upholstery since these can cause damage.
When aging, leather changes appearance, but the typical texture remains. To preserve smoothness and appearance, it is recommended to treat the leather with a special leather preservative after one or two years of use.
Cleaning the seat belts
Clean only with luke warm water and mild soap solution.
