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.
Cleaning Microtech upholstery
Vacuum the upholstery.
Apply a mild, alcohol-free detergent to a moistened sponge and squeeze until the detergent foams.
Move the sponge in a circular motion over the stain. Dampen the stain thoroughly with the sponge. Let the sponge absorb the stain and do not rub.
Wipe with a soft cloth or towel and then let the upholstery dry completely.
Protecting 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.
