Cleaning exterior
plastic, rubber and trim
components
The car should be washed as soon as it
becomes dirty. The longer the car is left dirty, the
more difficult it will be to get it completely clean
and there is a risk of scratching the paintwork.
Carry out cleaning in a cleaning area with an oil
separator, and use car shampoo.
A special cleaning agent is recommended for
the cleaning and care of coloured plastic parts,
rubber and trim components, e.g. glossy trim
mouldings. Contact Polestar Support for more
information. When using such a cleaning agent
the instructions must be followed carefully.

IMPORTANT
• Avoid waxing and polishing on plastic
and rubber.
When using degreasant on plastic and
rubber, only rub with light pressure if it
is necessary. Use a soft washing
sponge.
Polishing glossy trim mouldings could
wear away or damage the glossy sur-
face layer.
Polishing agent that contains abrasive
must not be used.
• To maintain the matte surface of the
emblem, see the separate section.
