1994 Volvo 850
There are three different types of rustproofing compounds available:
A) thin (ML), for seams under the car.
B) thin (transparent) for visible parts.
C) thick, for parts on the underbody and wheel housing which experience most wear.
Parts of the car which may need to be touched up (and the recommended rustproofing compound) are:
● visible welded seams and panel seams-(thin)
● underbody and wheel housings-(thick)
● door hinges-(thin)
● hood hinges and locks-(thin).
After completion of all work on the vehicle, remove excess rustproofing compound with a cloth soaked
in kerosene. The sheet metal surfaces of the engine compartment are protected by a transparent wax-
based rustproofing compound. The compound withstands normal washings without deterioration.
Mineral based solvents will, however, dissolve the compound, especially so if they contain emulsifiers.
In such cases the wax protection should be renewed.

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. Touch up 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 touch-up paint.
