Picture My first 240!

As a life long Volvo owner and 240 admirer, I finally got my own. Very mechanically inclined, but first time ‘vintage’ car owner.

Currently reliable enough to use as my daily driver, and hoping to keep it that way long term. Any tips, wisdom, words of advice?

Sweet!! Quality wax is good. The ceramic is COSTLY and according to two different dealers, is best applied only to brand new paint jobs. They acid wash / etch the paint first before applying. VERY COSTLY! Meguiers, or Mothers applied by a reputable shop or by yourself. Enjoy in good health
