Touching-up surface finish damage

The touching-up of any extensive damage

to the synthetic finish requires the use of

special equipment and skill, so that the

repairing of any such damage should be

entrusted to a Volvo workshop. Minor

damage caused by flying gravel, etc. and

small scratches can, however, be attended

to by the owner himself.

Damage caused by flying stones requires

mmediate treatment if damage from rust

s to be avoided. Always make a habit,

therefore, of checking the finish regularly

and carrying out touching-up if required.

Volvo dealers can supply you with suitable

touching-up paint in tins or spray bottles.

Always make sure that you get exactly the

right colour. Touching-up is as follows:

1. If flying gravel should penetrate down

to the metal, the damaged surface should

be scraped completely clean with a pen-

knife or similar.

f the paintwork has not been damaged by

flying gravel, a light scraping will remove

the dirt.

2. In the event of severe damage due to

flying stones, it is necessary to treat the

spot concerned with anti-rust primer. The

primer should cover completely the scrat-

ched and "chamfered off" surface.

When the anti-rust primer has dried,

genuine Volvo paint is applied. Stir the

paint

well

shake the spray bottle

thoroughly before use. Apply several thin

coats of the paint allowing it to dry

thoroughly between each application.

Chromed parts

The chromium-plated and anodized parts

should be washed with clean water as soon

as they become dirty. This is particularly

mportant if you drive on gravel roads

which are treated with chemicals to keep

the dust down or in the winter when salt is

used to melt the snow. After the car has

been washed, wax or anti-rust preparation

can be applied.

42 Anti-rust treatment

The Volvo 164 is anti-rust treated at the

factory.

Underbody sealing compound is

applied to the underbody on those places

exposed to damage from flying stones

thrown up by the wheels, i.e. the wheel

arches, the entire floor plate and the

underside of the sills. Anti-rust fluid is

sprayed on the chassis parts. Inspection

and

any touching-up of the anti-rust

protection should be done at regular

ntervals and at least once a year. The

enclosed body sections should also be

anti-rust treated by means of spray appli-

cation at least once a year.

any touching-up of the anti-rust pro-

tection is necessary, this should be done

mmediately to prevent moisture from

seeping in and consequently damaging it.

43 Cleaning

Cleaning the upholstery

Stains on any leather and plastic parts of

the upholstery can be removed with water

or a mild washing agent.

The fabric upholstery can be cleaned with

a vacuum cleaner or brush. Stains should

be removed before they dry.

SERVICING

Wipe up as much of the stain as possible

before treating it with spot remover. Use

a damp cloth or similar. Use a dry cloth to

suck up the spot remover and repeat the

treatment. Normally many stains can be

removed with soap and water or washing

agent followed by washing with water. If

carbon tetrachloride petrol (equal parts

carbon tetrachloride and chemically pure

petrol) is used, it should be allowed to

evaporate before the stain is treated with

water. Always work on the stain from the

outside, in order to avoid spreading.

We give below some tips as to suitable

spot removers for different types of stains.

Stains on plastic can be cleaned with

water or a mild washing agent.

Water can be used to remove the follow-

ng stains: blood (cold water), milk, tea,

soft drinks, coca-cola, and beer.

For spots from berries, fruit, coffee and

vomitings, water can be used if the stain

s treated immediately.

Carbon tetrachloride petrol is used for the

following stains: asphalt, oil, grease, cho-

colate, ice-cream, chewing gum, shoe

polish, lipstick, butter and margarine.

Urine stains are treated with 5

°lo

ammo-

niac and rinsed with water. This should be

repeated when necessary.

Cleaning the floor mats

The floor carpets should be vacuum-

cleaned or brushed clean regularly. Now

and again, and specially during the win-

tertime, they should be taken out for

drying. Mild washing agent will remove any

spots.
