Polishing And Waxing - Volvo V50 Owner's Manual

Car care
Cleaning seatbelts
Use water and a synthetic detergent. A
special textile cleaning agent is available from
you Volvo dealer. Make sure the seatbelt is
dry before allowing it to retract.

Polishing and waxing

Polish and wax the car if the paintwork is dull
or to give the paintwork extra protection.
The car does not need to be polished until it
is at least one year old. However, the car can
be waxed during this time. Do not polish or
wax the car in direct sunlight.
Wash and dry the car thoroughly before you
begin polishing or waxing. Clean off asphalt
and tar stains using Volvo tar remover or
white spirit. More stubborn marks can be
removed using fine rubbing paste designed
for car paintwork.
Polish first with a polish and then wax with
liquid or solid wax. Follow the instructions on
the packaging carefully. Many preparations
contain both polish and wax.
