Car Detailing for Volvo V90

Detailing your Volvo V90

A V90 Cross Country is a long, comfortable wagon that does Muskoka runs and dog park trips in equal measure, so the cargo bay gets most of our time. We shampoo the carpet, clean the scratched sill and foam the cream leather so paw prints and jean dye come out evenly. The faded cladding gets a trim restorer, the long roof is washed from a step and the wheels get an iron remover before a sealant goes on the paint.

What we watch for on a V90

• The big cargo area carries dogs, bikes and cottage gear, so the carpet and the plastic load sill need a shampoo and a thorough clean
• Cross Country cladding fades grey and holds salt film in its texture; a trim restorer brings the black back for months
• Blond Nappa in a wagon shows dog paw prints and denim dye; a foaming cleaner and soft brush restore it
• The long roof with rails holds standing water and sap; we wash and polish it by hand from a step
• Twenty-inch wheels collect heavy brake dust that needs an iron remover before brushing

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.
