Car care
Cleaning the upholstery
Treating marks on fabric
A special cleaning agent available at your
Volvo dealer is recommended when cleaning
fabric upholstery. Other chemicals can impair
the fire retardant qualities of the upholstery.
Treating marks on vinyl
1HYHU scrape or rub a mark. 1HYHU use strong
stain remover. Wash with a weak soap solution
and lukewarm water.
Treating marks on leather
A special cleaning agent available at your
Volvo dealer is recommended when cleaning
leather upholstery.
Use the Volvo leather care kit once or twice a
year to preserve suppleness and comfort.
1HYHU use strong detergent, petrol, alcohol,
white spirit, etc. as such strong substances can
damage fabric, vinyl and leather upholstery.
Cleaning seat belts
Use water and synthetic detergent.
Polishing and waxing
Polish and wax the car when you feel the
paintwork is matte and when you wish to give
the paintwork extra protection, such as before
winter.
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 off
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 liquid 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.
