After completion of all work on the vehicle, remove excess rustproofing compound with a cloth soaked
in kerosene. The sheet metal surfaces of the engine compartment are protected by a transparent wax-
based rustproofing compound. The compound withstands normal washings without deterioration.
Mineral based solvents will, however, dissolve the compound, especially so if they contain emulsifiers.
In such cases the wax protection should be renewed.

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 dealer for any extensive damage.
Minor scratches can be repaired by using Volvo touch-up paint.
NOTE: When ordering touch-up paint from your Volvo dealer, use the paint code indicated on the
model plate. The plate is located on the panel above the right-side head lights.
