Cleaning rims

The vehicle should be washed as soon as it
becomes dirty. The longer the dirt remains,
the more difficult it will be to keep the vehicle
clean. It could also lead to paint damage.
Wash the rims at a car wash or garage with
an oil separator. Use a car washing detergent
recommended by Volvo.
Use a rim cleaning agent recommended by
Volvo.
Strong rim cleaning agents could damage the
surface and stain the chromed aluminum rims.
