Re: What is the best Wax or Polish for a Volvo finish.

I have been using Lusso Oro wax on my red V70 for the last two years. Took the car off road in Maine earlier this month (lots of dust) I cleaned the wheels last night, but the rain had the paint shiny with lots of beading. Check it out at DetailersDomain.com

Backup lamp bulb problem

Replaced both the backup bulbs in my 01 V70T5. Still not lighting up. Any suggestions? What an awkward arrangement in those tail lamp assemblies anyway!

Buying on ebay? I bought my '01 V70 T5 from Lighthouse, I found him on ebay, but drove down to his facility. Looked at three cars, test drove and then bought. There was no warranty, so I did put another few grand in the car, thermostat, alternator and starter. I would hesitate to buy a car on ebay, ...
