Feel free to wax your car whenever necessary, but you shouldn't need to polish it during its first year.
Important
Be careful
- Do not polish or use products intended for high-gloss paintwork on surfaces that have matte paintwork. This may create a permanent gloss on the surface.
- Polishing glossy trim mouldings could wear away or damage the glossy surface layer.
- Avoid using polish or wax on rubber and unpainted plastic components.
Contact Volvo support for information on recommended cleaning agents and car care products.
Make sure the car is protected from direct sunlight. The surface should be no more than 45 °C (113 °F) when applying polish or wax.
Wash and dry the car thoroughly.
First polish the car, then wax it. Follow the instructions on the packaging carefully. Many products contain both polish and wax.
