Car care

Car care

Car care includes not only maintaining the appearance of the car, but also protecting the car exterior from the effects of air pollution, rain, mud or road salt. The paintwork should also be touched up
immediately, if damaged, to prevent rust formation.

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. Touchup if necessary.

Paint repairs require special equipment and skill. Contact your Volvo retailer for any extensive damage.

Minor scratches can be repaired by using Volvo touchup paint.

NOTE: When ordering touchup paint from your Volvo retailer, use the paint code indicated on the
model plate. The plate is located in the rear wall of the engine compartment (fire wall).
