Volvo XC90: Maintenance and service / Cleaning exterior plastic, rubber and trim components
The vehicle should be washed as soon as it becomes dirty. The longer the dirt remains, the more difficult it will be to keep the vehicle clean. It could also lead to paint damage. Use a car washing detergent recommended by Volvo.
A special cleaning agent available from Volvo retailers is recommended for the cleaning and care of colored plastic parts, rubber and trim components, e.g. glossy trim. Follow the usage instructions for the cleaning agent carefully.
Avoid using car washing detergents with a pH value lower than 3.5 or higher than 11.5. Doing so could result in the discoloring of anodized aluminum surfaces* (as shown in the illustrations below). Abrasive polishing agents are not recommended for these areas (as shown in the illustrations below).
Components that should be washed with a cleaning product with a pH value between 3.5 and 11.5.
CAUTION
Avoid waxing and polishing plastic and rubber.
If using degreaser on plastic and rubber, only rub (if necessary) with slight pressure. Use a soft sponge.
Polishing glossy trim moldings can wear away or damage the glossy surface layer. Polish containing abrasives must not be used.
CAUTION
Avoid washing the vehicle with cleaner with a pH value below 3.5 or above 11.5. This could cause discoloration of anodized aluminum components like the roof rail and around the side windows.
Never use metal polishing agent on anodized aluminum components. This could cause discoloration and destroy the surface treatment.
