*NEW CAR* Silver Volvo V70 2.5T

[Kimo]

Hey everyone, long time.

Well, my wife and I are expecting (due Jan 9th) and so we had to trade in the Eclipse GT and get a wagon. (I refuse to give in to the SUV bru-ha-ha)

We chose the Volvo V70 2.5T, in Silver with Graphite (Dark Grey) interior. It is SWEET. I've never had a luxury car before, and this is really nice. It is all rubber, leather and polished walnut on the interior, and the swedish creature comforts are a bonus

I'm looking forward to detailing it, but I'd like some advice. It has Leather Seats, with a pebbled texture on them. I'm not sure what to use on it: is it coated or not, etc. I'll do the drop test tomorrow.

I'd like to keep it looking new for as long as possible. The dealer detailer is *NOT* a hack, he is really good and the car looks great.

Now I get to drive the 95 honda to work This is, of course, the wife's car.

Looking forward to your suggestions on how to treat this vehicle with some TLC.

Jamie

I have a 2005 Volvo S60 and I use 4* Leather Cleaner and 4* Leather Conditioner. I have had great luck with them. I try to do it about once a month. The leather is still looking like new over a year later. I also use a Swiffer Duster on the interior surfaces as to not harm them.
