2000 Volvo S & V70 Normally, polishing is not required during the first year after delivery, however, waxing may be beneficial. Before applying polish or wax the car must be washed and dried. Tar spots can be removed with kerosene or tar remover. Difficult spots may require a fine rubbing compound. After polishing use liquid or paste wax. Several commercially available products contain both polish and wax. Waxing alone does not substitute for polishing of a dull surface. A wide range of polymerbased car waxes can be purchased today. These waxes are easy to use and produce a longlasting, highgloss finish that protects the bodywork against oxidation, road dirt and fading. pg. 116 Cleaning the upholstery Cleaning the upholstery The fabric can be cleaned with soapy water or a detergent. For more difficult spots caused by oil, ice cream, shoe polish, grease, etc., use a clothing/fabric stain remover. The plastic in the upholstery can be cleaned with a soft cloth and mild soap solution. Leather upholstery/suede-like upholstery (alcantera™) can be cleaned with a soft cloth and mild soap solution. For more difficult spots, Volvo offers a leather care kit. On no account must gasoline, naphtha or similar cleaning agents be used on the plastic or the leather since these can cause damage. Cleaning the seat belts Clean only with lukewarm water and mild soap solution. Cleaning floor mats The floor mats should be vacuumed or brushed clean regularly, especially during winter when they should be taken out for drying. Spots on textile mats can be removed with a mild detergent. Bear in mind · Take extra care when removing stains such as ink or lipstick since the coloring can spread. · Use solvents sparingly. Too much solvent can damage the seat padding. · Start from the outside of the stain and work toward the center.
