1989 Volvo 740
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. 94 Cleaning the upholstery
Cleaning the upholstery
Generally, the fabric can be cleaned with soapy water or a detergent. For more difficult spots caused by
oil, ice cream, shoe polish, grease, etc.. use a stain remover.
The plastic in the upholstery can be washed. To clean leather upholstery, use soft cloth and mild soap
solution, using, for instance, common bath soap.
For more difficult spots, consult your Volvo dealer.
On no account must gasoline, naphtha or similar cleaning agents be used on the plastic or the
leather since these can cause damage.
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 Soots 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.
