1987 Volvo 780

A wide range of polymer-based car waxes can be purchased today. 
The waxes are easy to use and produce a long-lasting, high-gloss finish that protects the bodywork 
against oxidation, road dirt and fading. 

Chromed parts 
Chromium-plated and anodized parts should be washed with clean water as soon as they become dirty. 
This is particularly important if you drive on gravel roads or on roads where salt is used during the 
winter. After the car has been washed, apply wax or an anti-rust preparation. 
Stains on chrome trim can be removed with commercially-available chrome cleaner. Do not use abrasive 
compounds or steel wool. 

pg. 86 Cleaning the upholstery 

Cleaning the upholstery 
To clean leather upholstery, use soft cloth and mild soap solution, using, for instance, common bath 
soap. 
For more difficult spots, consult an expert for the choice of cleaning agent. 

On no account must gasoline, naphtha or similar cleaning agents be used on the leather since these 
can cause damage. 

As it ages, leather changes appearance, but the typical texture remains. To preserve smoothness and 
appearance, it is recommended to treat the leather with a special leather preservative after one or two 
years of use.

Cleaning the seat belts 
Clean only with lukewarm water and mild soap solution. 

Cleaning floor mats  
The floor mats should be vacuumed or brushed clean regularly, especially during the winter when they 
should be taken out for drying. Spots on textile mats can be removed with a mild detergent. 

Bear in mind 

     

Take extra care when removing stains such as ink or lipstick since the coloring can spread. 

     

Use solvents sparingly. Too much solvent can damage the seat padding. 

     

Start from the outside of the stain and work toward the center.
