Car Detailing for Volvo S60

Detailing your Volvo S60

The S60 is the Volvo for people who wanted a cream leather interior and Swedish restraint instead of a German badge, and that Blond leather is the first thing we address. We foam it rather than wipe it so the colour stays even, wipe the driftwood trim with a damp cloth only and keep the vertical touchscreen streak-free. Outside, the paint takes a light polish and a sealant, and plug-in cars get their charge port flap cleaned by hand.

What we watch for on a S60

• Blond leather is the signature Volvo interior and shows denim dye on the driver bolster within a season; a foaming leather cleaner and soft brush lift it without blotching
• Open-pore driftwood trim gets a damp microfibre only; any silicone dressing darkens the grain and streaks
• The vertical Sensus touchscreen shows fingerprints and is cleaned with a screen-safe spray and a lint-free towel
• Polestar Engineered cars have gold calipers and 19-inch wheels that need a soft brush and a non-acidic cleaner
• Recharge cars have a charge port on the front fender that collects salt spray; we clean the flap with a brush and damp cloth

Luxury cars: soft paint, delicate trim

Premium interiors use more leather, open-pore wood and gloss trim, and premium paint is often softer. We use gentler chemistry, soft microfibre and slower machine passes so nothing is marred.
