Polishing and waxingPolish and wax the vehicle when the paint is matte or to provide extra protection. The vehicledoes not need to be polished until it is at least ayear old. However, it can be waxed during thefirst year. Do not polish or wax the vehicle indirect sunlight. The surface of the vehicle shouldnot be warmer than approximately 45 °C(113 °F).
• Wash and dry the vehicle very carefully before polishing or waxing. Remove asphaltand tar stains with asphalt remover or paintthinner. More stubborn stains can beremoved with a grinding paste designed forvehicle paint.
• Use polish first and then liquid or paste wax.Follow the instructions on the package care-fully. Many products contain both polish andwax.
• A wide range of polymer-based waxes canbe purchased today. These waxes are easy touse and produce a long-lasting, high-glossfinish that protects the bodywork against oxi-dation, road dirt and fading.
CAUTION
Avoid waxing and polishing plastic and rubber. If using degreaser on plastic and rubber, only rub (if necessary) with slight pressure. Use asoft sponge. Polishing glossy trim moldings can wear away or damage the glossy surface layer. Polish containing abrasives must not be used.
CAUTION
Only use paintwork treatments recommended by Volvo. Other treatments, such as preserva-tion, sealing, protection, luster sealing or simi-lar, could damage the paintwork. Paintworkdamage caused by such treatments are notcovered by Volvo's warranty.

Hand washingKeep the following points in mind when washing the vehicle:
• Avoid washing the vehicle in direct sunlight.This could cause the detergent or wax to dryout and become abrasive.
• Remove bird droppings from paintwork assoon as possible. They contain chemicalsthat affect and discolor paint very quickly.Use e.g. soft paper or a sponge soaked inlots of water. Consult an authorized Volvoworkshop for assistance removing discolora-tion.
• Hose down the underbody, including thewheel housings and bumper.
• Hose down the entire vehicle and removeany loose dirt, droppings etc. to reduce therisk of scratches from washing. Do not spraydirectly onto locks.
• If necessary, use cold degreaser on heavilysoiled surfaces. Note that in such cases thesurfaces must not be hot from the sun.

Cleaning exterior plastic, rubber andtrim components The vehicle should be washed as soon as it becomes dirty. This makes the vehicle easier toclean because dirt does not attach as strongly. Italso reduces the risk of scratches and keeps thevehicle looking new. Wash the vehicle in a carwash or garage with an oil separator. Use a carwashing detergent.
Exterior plastic, rubber and trim components
A special cleaning agent available from Volvo retailers is recommended for the cleaning andcare of colored plastic parts, rubber and trimcomponents, e.g. glossy trim. Follow the usageinstructions for the cleaning agent carefully. Avoid using car washing detergents with a pH value lower than 3.5 or higher than 11.5. Doingso could result in the discoloring of anodized alu- minum surfaces* (as shown in the illustrations
below). Abrasive polishing agents are not recom- mended for these areas (as shown in the illustra-tions below).Components that should be washed with a cleaning product with a pH value between 3.5 and 11.5.
CAUTION
Avoid waxing and polishing plastic and rubber. If using degreaser on plastic and rubber, only rub (if necessary) with slight pressure. Use asoft sponge. Polishing glossy trim moldings can wear away or damage the glossy surface layer. Polish containing abrasives must not be used.
CAUTION
Avoid washing the vehicle with cleaner with a pH value below 3.5 or above 11.5. This couldcause discoloration of anodized aluminumcomponents like the roof rail and around theside windows. Never use metal polishing agent on anodized aluminum components. This could cause dis-coloration and destroy the surface treatment.

Corrosion protection
Your vehicle is constructed with effective protec- tion against corrosion.
Corrosion protection for the body consists of modern metallic protective coatings on the sheetmetal, a high-quality painting process, corrosion-protected and minimized metal overlap, andshielding plastic components, abrasion protectionand supplemental rust inhibitor in exposed areas.In the chassis, exposed components of the wheelsuspension are made of corrosion-resistant castaluminum.
Inspection and maintenanceThe corrosion protection does not normallyrequire maintenance, but keeping the vehicleclean is always a good way to further reduce therisk of corrosion. The use of strong alkaline oracidic cleaning fluids should always be avoidedon shiny body components. Any stone chips inthe paint should be touched up as soon as theyare discovered.
