Car care
Car care includes not only maintaining the appearance of the car, but also protecting the car exterior from the effects of
air pollution, rain, mud or road salt. The paintwork should also be touched up immediately, if damaged, to prevent rust
formation.

Paint touch-up
Paint damage requires immediate attention to avoid rusting. Make it a habit to check the finish regularly - when
washing the car for instance. Touch up if necessary.
Paint repairs require special equipment and skill. Contact your Volvo retailer for any extensive damage.
Minor scratches can be repaired by using Volvo touch-up paint.
NOTE:
When ordering touch-up paint from your Volvo retailer, use the paint code indicated on the model plate. The
plate is located in the engine compartment, on the inside of the left front fender.

NOTE:
When touching up the car, it should be clean and dry. The surface temperature should be above 60° F (15° C).

If the stone chip has not penetrated down to the metal and undamaged layer of paint remains, the touch-up paint can be
applied as soon as the spot has been cleaned.
