Volvo's Microtech upholstery is treated to protect its original appearance. Over time, sunlight, grease, dirt, etc. could break down the protective layer. This could result in scratches and cracking.
Regular cleaning and treatments are required to preserve the qualities and color of the upholstery.
Note
Use an alcohol-free cleaning agent or Volvo's cleaning agent designed for interiors (VCC interior cleaner).
Cleaning the Microtech upholstery
Apply the leather cleaner to a damp sponge and squeeze it until the cleaner foams.
Move the sponge in circular motions to apply the foam to the stain.
Dampen the stain thoroughly with the sponge. Let the sponge absorb the stain and do not rub.
Dry the stain using a soft towel and let the leather dry completely.
Protecting the Microtech upholstery
Apply a small amount of leather protector to a cloth and then apply the protector to the leather using light circular movements.
Let it dry for approximately 20 minutes.
Protecting the vinyl upholstery makes it better able to withstand sunlight's harmful UV rays.
