Parts that should be washed using a cleaning agent
with a pH value between 3.5 and 11.5.
IMPORTANT
Avoid waxing and polishing on plastic and
rubber.
When using degreasant on plastic and rub-
ber, only rub with light pressure if it is nec-
essary. Use a soft washing sponge.
Polishing glossy trim mouldings could
wear away or damage the glossy surface
layer.
Polishing agent that contains abrasive
must not be used.
IMPORTANT
Avoid washing the car with cleaning agent
with a pH value lower than 3.5 or higher
than 11.5. This may result in discolouration
of anodised aluminium parts such as roof
rack and around the side windows.
Never use metal polishing agent on ano-
dised aluminium parts, this can result in
discolouration and destroy the surface
treatment.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
Cleaning wheel rims
The car should be washed as soon as it
becomes dirty. The longer the car is left dirty,
the more difficult it will be to get it com-
pletely clean and there is a risk of scratching
the paintwork. Carry out cleaning in a clean-
ing area with an oil separator, and use car
shampoo.
Only use rim cleaning agent recommended by
Volvo.
Strong rim cleaning agents can damage the
surface and cause stains on chrome-plated
aluminium rims.
