Polishing and waxing
Polish and wax the car if the paintwork is dull
or to give the paintwork extra protection.
The car does not need to be polished until it
is at least one year old. However, the car can
be waxed during this time. Do not polish or
wax the car in direct sunlight.
Wash and dry the car thoroughly before you
begin polishing or waxing. Clean off asphalt
and tar stains using Volvo tar remover or
white spirit. More stubborn stains can be
removed using fine rubbing paste designed
for car paintwork.
Polish first with a polish and then wax with
liquid or solid wax. Follow the instructions on
the packaging carefully. Many preparations
contain both polish and wax.
Cleaning front side windows that have
a water-repellent surface (option)
Never use products such as car wax,
degreaser or similar on glass sur-
faces as this could ruin their water-repellent
properties.
Take care when cleaning so as not to dam-
age 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.
Treatment with a special finishing agent
available from Volvo dealers is recom-
mended in order to maintain the water-repel-
lent properties. This should be used first after
three years and then each year.
Rustproofing – inspection and
maintenance
The car received a thorough and complete
rustproofing at the factory. Parts of the body
are made of galvanised sheet metal. The
underbody is protected by a wear-resistant
anti-corrosion compound. A thin, penetrating
rustproofing fluid was sprayed into the
exposed members, cavities, closed sections
and side doors.
Under normal conditions the rustproofing
does not require treatment for approximately
12 years. After this period, it should be
treated at three-year intervals. Please con-
tact an authorised Volvo workshop if the car
needs further treatment.
Dirt and road salt can lead to corrosion so it
is important to keep the car clean. The car’s
rustproofing needs to be checked regularly
and touched-up if necessary in order for it to
be maintained.
IMPORTANT
Paint treatment such as preserving, sealing,
protection, lustre sealing or similar could
damage the paintwork. Paintwork damage
caused by such treatments is not covered
by Volvo warranty.
