Volvo XC90: Maintenance and service / Cleaning the exterior
The vehicle should be washed as soon as it becomes dirty. This makes the vehicle
easier to clean because dirt does not attach as strongly. It also reduces the risk
of scratches and keeps the vehicle looking new. Wash the rims at a car wash or garage
with an oil separator. Use a car washing detergent recommended by Volvo.
Use cleaning agents and car care products recommended by Volvo. Clean regularly
and treat stains immediately.
A lightly dampened microfiber cloth is recommended for cleaning interior details
and surfaces...
Polish and wax the vehicle when the paint is dull or to provide extra protection.
The vehicle does not need to be polished until it is at least a year old...
Other information:
The electrical functions in the vehicle drain the battery to varying degrees.
Avoid using ignition mode II when the engine is switched off. Use ignition mode
I instead, as this uses less electrical current.
Note that certain accessories may also drain power from the electrical system...
