Leather upholstery *Volvo's leather upholstery is treated to protect its original appearance. Over time, sunlight, grease,dirt, etc. could break down the protective layer.This could result in scratches and cracking. Leather upholstery is a natural product that changes and acquires a beautiful patina overtime. Regular cleaning and treatments arerequired to preserve the qualities and color of theleather. Volvo offers a comprehensive product,Volvo Leather Care Kit/Wipes, for cleaning andtreating leather upholstery that, when used asdirected, preserves the leather's protective coa-ting. For best results, Volvo recommends cleaning and applying protective cream one to four times ayear (or more as needed). Volvo Leather Care Kit951 0251 and Volvo Leather Softener 9437429 are available for purchase at Volvo retailers.
