Washing the car
The following points should be kept in mind when washing and cleaning the car: •The car should be washed at regular intervals since dirt, dust, insects and tarspots adhere to the paint and may causedamage. To help prevent corrosion, it isparticularly important to wash the car fre-quently in the wintertime.
• Avoid washing your car in direct sunlight.Doing so may cause detergents and waxto dry out and become abrasive. To avoidscratching, use lukewarm water to softenthe dirt before you wash with a softsponge, and plenty of sudsy water.
• Bird droppings
: Remove from paintwork
as soon as possible. Otherwise the finishmay be permanently damaged.
• A detergent can be used to facilitate thesoftening of dirt and oil.
• Dry the car with a clean chamois andremember to clean the drain holes in thedoors and rocker panels.
• Tar spots can be removed with tarremover after the car has been washed.
• A stiff-bristle brush and lukewarm soapywater can be used to clean the wiperblades. Frequent cleaning of the wind-shield and wiper blades improves visibility considerably and also helps prolong theservice life of the wiper blades.
• Wash off the dirt from the underside(wheel housings, fenders, etc).
• In areas of high industrial fallout, morefrequent washing is recommended.
NOTE
When washing the car, remember to remove dirt from the drain holes in thedoors and sills.
CAUTION
• During high pressure washing, the spray mouthpiece must never becloser to the vehicle than 13" (30 cm).Do not spray into the locks.
• Dirt, snow, etc., on the headlights canreduce lighting capacity considerably.Clean the headlights regularly, forexample when refueling.
Special moonroof cautions:
• Always close the moonroof and sunshade before washing your vehicle.
• Never use abrasive cleaning agents onthe moonroof.
• Never use wax on the rubber sealsaround the moonroof.
Exterior componentsVolvo recommends the use of special clean- ing products, available at your Volvo retailer,for cleaning colored plastic, rubber, or orna-mental components such as chromed stripson the exterior of your vehicle. The instruc-tions for using these products should be fol-lowed carefully. Solvents or stain removersshould not be used.
CAUTION
•Avoid waxing or polishing plastic or rubber components
• Polishing chromed strips can wearaway or damage the surface
• Polishes containing abrasive sub-stances should not be used
Automatic car wash
•
We do NOT recommend washing your car in an automatic wash during the firstfew months (because the paint will nothave hardened sufficiently).
• An automatic wash is a simple and quickway to clean your car, but it is worthremembering that it may not be as thor-ough as when you yourself go over thecar with sponge and water. Keeping theunderbody clean is most important, espe-cially in the winter. Some automatic

washers do not have facilities for washing the underbody.
NOTE
Condensation may form temporarily on the inside of the lenses of exterior lights suchas headlights, fog lights, or taillights. Thisis normal and the lights are designed towithstand moisture. Normally, condensa-tion will dissipate after the lights have beenon for a short time.
CAUTION
•
Before driving into an automatic car wash, turn off the optional rain sensorto avoid damaging the windshield wip-ers.
• Make sure that side view mirrors, aux-iliary lamps, etc, are secure, and thatany antenna(s) are retracted orremoved. Otherwise there is risk of themachine dislodging them.
• Chromed wheels:
Clean chrome-
plated wheels using the same deter-gents used for the body of the vehicle.Aggressive wheel-cleaning agents canpermanently stain chrome-platedwheels.
WARNING
• When the vehicle is driven immediately after being washed, apply the brakes,including the parking brake, severaltimes in order to remove any moisturefrom the brake linings.
• Engine cleaning agents should not beused when the engine is warm. Thisconstitutes a fire risk.
Polishing and waxing
•
Normally, polishing is not required during the first year after delivery, however, wax-ing may be beneficial.
• Before applying polish or wax the vehiclemust be washed and dried. Tar spots canbe removed with kerosene or tar remover.Difficult spots may require a fine rubbingcompound.
• After polishing use liquid or paste wax.
• Several commercially available productscontain both polish and wax.
• Waxing alone does not substitute for pol-ishing a dull surface.
• A wide range of polymer-based waxescan be purchased today. These waxesare easy to use and produce a long-last-ing, high-gloss finish that protects the bodywork against oxidation, road dirt andfading.
• Do not polish or wax your vehicle in directsunlight (the surface of the vehicle shouldnot be warmer than 113 °F (45 °C).
CAUTION
Volvo does not recommend the use of long-life or durable paint protection coat-ings, some of which may claim to preventpitting, fading, oxidation, etc. These coat-ings have not been tested by Volvo forcompatibility with your vehicle's clear coat.Some of them may cause the clear coat tosoften, crack, or cloud. Damage caused byapplication of paint protection coatingsmay not be covered under your vehicle'spaint warranty.
