(because the paint will not have hardened sufficiently).
l An automatic wash is a simple and quick way to clean your car, but it is\
worth remembering that it
may not be as thorough as when you yourself go over the car with sponge \
and water. Keeping the
underbody clean is most important, especially in the winter. Some automa\
tic washers do not have
facilities for washing the underbody.
l Before driving into an automatic wash, make sure that side view mirrors,\
auxiliary lamps, etc, are
secure, otherwise there is risk of the machine dislodging them.
Polishing and waxing
l Normally, polishing is not required during the first year after delivery\
. However, waxing may be
beneficial.
l Before applying polish or wax the car must be washed and dried. Tar spot\
s can be removed with
kerosene or tar remover. Difficult spots may require a fine rubbing comp\
ound.
l After polishing, use liquid or paste wax.
l Several commercially available products contain both polish and wax.
l Waxing alone does not substitute for polishing of a dull surface.
l A wide range of polymer-based car waxes can be purchased today. These wa\
xes are easy to use and
produce a long-lasting, high-gloss finish that protects the bodywork aga\
inst oxidation, road dirt and
fading.
l Do not polish or wax your car in direct sunlight (the surface of the ca\
r should not be warmer than
113° F (45° C).
Cleaning the upholstery
l The fabric can be cleaned with soapy water or a detergent. For more difficult spot\
s caused by oil, ice
cream, shoe polish, grease, etc., use a clothing/fabric stain remover.
l The plastic in the upholstery can be cleaned with a soft cloth and mild soap soluti\
on.
l Leather upholstery/suede-like upholstery (alcanteraTM) can be cleaned with a soft cloth and mild
soap solution. For more difficult spots, Volvo offers a leather care kit\
.
l Under no circumstances should gasoline, naphtha or similar cleaning agen\
ts be used on the
plastic or the leather since these can cause damage.
Cleaning the seat belts
Clean only with lukewarm water and mild soap solution.
Cleaning floor mats
The floor mats should be vacuumed or brushed clean regularly, especially\
during winter, when they
