High-Pressure Washing - Volvo V90 Owner's Manual

High-pressure washing

The vehicle should be washed as soon as it
becomes dirty. This makes the vehicle easier to
clean because dirt does not attach as strongly. It
also reduces the risk of scratches and keeps the
vehicle looking new. Wash the vehicle in a car
wash or garage with an oil separator. Use a car
washing detergent.
High-pressure washing
If washing the vehicle with a high-pressure wash,
use sweeping movements and keep the nozzle at
least 30 cm (13 in.) from the vehicle. Do not
spray directly onto locks.

Cleaning the wiper blades
The vehicle should be washed as soon as it
becomes dirty. This makes the vehicle easier to
clean because dirt does not attach as strongly. It
also reduces the risk of scratches and keeps the
vehicle looking new. Wash the vehicle in a car
wash or garage with an oil separator. Use a car
washing detergent.
Wiper blades
Asphalt, dust and salt residue on wiper blades, as
well as insects, ice etc. on the windshield, shorten
the service life of wiper blades.
When cleaning, put the wiper blades in the serv-
ice position.
NOTE
Wash the wiper blades and windshield regu-
larly with a lukewarm soap solution or vehicle
shampoo. Do not use strong solvents.
