In today's video, I'll be detailing a friend's 1986 Volvo 240 DL. It was parked in a barn years back due to electrical issues, but he's been wanting to get back into it to hopefully fix it up. I wanted to see just how well it would clean up so I offered to help! These are iconic cars that were extremely well made. I ended up going above and beyond to try and bring it back to it's former glory as best as I could. Thanks for watching!

Man, those old Volvo's are cool looking. Amazing job mate 👍

[@giladshurkin9256]

I LITTERALLY GREW UP OWNING ONE AN '82 245DL AT THE SAME EXACT COLOR I MISS IT A LOT

[@TheREALOC1972]

I'm a Muscle car guy and flip cars for a living, last summer while at an Estate Auction I bought 4 cars in a package deal, it was basically buy them all or you couldn't buy, One car I sold to a guy who was there just for that car by itself but didn;t want them all, the 3 I took wasa 54 Chevy Fleetline, a 63 Ford Falcon 4 door and a 83 Volvo DL Wagon. I wasn't really excited about it but it was what it was. When I got back to shop my Shop Porter was excited about it, after talking to him I found out when his family moved here to the Tucson area from Arkansas in the early 2000's they did so in 84 Volvo DL Wagon, it was a different color, theirs was dark brown with tan interior and this one was green with black interior, other than new fluids, a Battery, Alternator and some paint on the hood and top of the fenders, it didn't need much other than a good clean up and some stitch repair to the drivers seat where the lower seat was coming apart, so we put a new Battery, a new Alternator and just threw a flat black paint job on the hood and top of the fenders and had him do the rest of the clean up, including teaching him how to cut and buff cutting the paint and then gave it to him as a "job well done" bonus, since then all he's done to it is sand blast and paint the wheels and put some cheap Baby Moons on it. I wasn't going to be able to sell it for much more than I had in it so why not just give it to someone who would love it like a car should be. That car turned out alot better than I though it would.

[@averytulak]

So satisfying! Sometimes the whole refresh and detailing process can be a little overwhelming, but when you're done it's so so worth it!! This is the reason why I watch your videos over anything else I have to watch.

[@oibal60]

Well done. I've prepared cars for full-concours shows (and won), so I can very much appreciate the effort, especially when you do it all on your own.

[@mikaeldinoto]

I like the car refresh videos you do 👍 you’re proving that you don’t need to be a professional to sort out an old car

[@willyp704]

Man.. good memories with this car. As a kid my dad had a ‘91 240. Up until like 2015 actually. Thing just ran forever

[@hossbonaventure]

Been following you since high school. I’m 30 now. Always love your videos and friendly easy going disposition. Good to see you doing well Kyle - nice Volvo!

[@vangestelwijnen]

Kyle, good to see you back in my recommended vids, it has been a few years. Please do more detail vids, you did a great job.

[@darkknight8139]

Nice one, well done! A car can be old and worn, but having it cleaned like this does so much to the overall appeal. The 240 series is a great car in many aspects, and having a clean one is even greater.

[@user-hi3uy6mq3j]

thanks Kyle, i really like these detailing videos i actually like to detail cars to.

[@bhumiriady]

That is one nice detailing video on the Volvo! I really love the transformation from dirty to shiny.^^

[@MyGuyJustinH]

I love these detailing videos. Keep them coming, Kyle.

[@jalos012]

Love watching your videos

[@donhaynes989]

Great job! Love those old style Volvos

[@danrodriguez1865]

Wow! Wow!!!! Wow!!!!! What a difference! Those Volvos were very special cars and very safe!! Keep those videos coming!!! They are great!!!

[@miguel760t]

I hope your buddy is inspired to fix this up after the fabulous job you did cleaning it up!

[@finaltouchautodetailingllc]

A volvo 240 was my first car and video love to have another one, one day. Great work man!

[@ssclassof2000]

Great video . I also like the fact that you use products that can be bought off the shelf. This also brings back memories of me detailing cars in my teens back in the 1990s using that blue coral upholstery cleaner.

[@tucksmith8300]

Yep me too and I’m a detailer by trade

[@SM-wr4nn]

Love this! Hope to see an update soon!

[@Papieck37]

I used to drive one exactly like that.. Same color and interior etc.. Mine had the tach reader through... in the mid 90s...great car, lots of fun and super comfy...

[@clausclausie7560]

I love these videos and you really do a fantastic and satifying job!

[@dylanmooney327]

I’d love to see more detailing videos!

[@The416punchaman]

Would of loved to see a reaction from your friend! Nice job on the detail!

[@mds2465]

Great job with the car! I love these Volvo 240s. My grandpa had a 1988 sedan in white with a blue cloth interior. He drove that car for 342k.

[@fordmuscleluis9710]

Wow this classic Volvo car looks nice and clean and heck of a lot better

[@angelscarreviews6094]

Wow 😱 Fantastic hard work dude. The Volvo 240 is now in super excellent condition with the brown cloth seats and it looks brand new and very accurate to the wheels too. I particularly like the car but the engine needs a little bit of work, man I like the video so far with many projects 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@HONDAcivicS1]

Kyle has good taste in music 👍

[@gerredstallings465]

I like the detailing videos what ever u decide to do a video on i will be turning in to see it

[@jackieray8188]

Would love to see more detailing videos, love the channel keep up the great work.

[@tucksmith8300]

That Volvo 240DL looks good Kyle

[@RobertKohut]

Amazing transformation

[@JoseRivera-ym3wj]

These Volvos have a following among its fans. Reliable and economical transportation for many; a sleeper platform for those that want to make it go fast. Here's a tip that I've seen around regarding interior sanitation: get some dry ice and let sublime in a bucket with some water. The CO² in a closed environment will kill any mold and bacteria deep in the fabrics. And it helps in leaving the interior smelling fresh, especially after using the cleaning products.

[@AXXeYY]

looks really good!

[@stygianhoplite]

This is a really cool video. Hope you do more like these down the road (along with the reviews of course)

[@mrari68]

im a finnish swede ilove these cars born 1968 in f9inland we come to sveden 1969 always volvo

[@ksprr6856]

This color is my favorite. Looks so clean with the original black painted steel rims.

[@DeanofMachines]

Maan, all we do is these old school Volvos. They are great!

[@krisp.1593]

Love to see a video on you sorting out all the Mechanicals and electronics and so forth that need to be done to fully restore this beautiful Volvo

[@dxt_PT]

U should find a Volvo s40 to review! I really like the s40 and the 240

[@viiccttor]

Great video Kyle! As always you bring us quality content.

[@bigsmith7349]

Growing up in the 80s this was one of the most underrated cars you could buy ..but As all the 70s and 80s kids are now in our 40s I have to say these cars are so cool now and well love by all 👍👍

Love the 240. Do a SAAB please! 🙏

[@Garrett053]

One tip, these are sensitive on moist in the distribitutor cap from wsshing. Just blow it dry and let sit off for a while, that should fix the start issue

[@zebatrizon1]

My first car that I drove to school, and still have, was a 1993 Volvo 240 station wagon 🙌🏼 I graduated in 2013

[@joe.olivet]

Nice work! 👊🏻🔨😎 Came out better than expected.

[@oibal60]

The boss, for the company I used to work for, owned one. Yup, 1987.

[@londonwood6442]

great video as always, Kyle! love to see it

[@ThorAU]

I love it. Let me give you my 850 AWD wagon lol 😆

[@michaelcoffey7362]

Cool Volvo 😀

[@364nailhead]

Love that brown interior👌

[@dalebob9364]

An 87 GL Volvo was my first car. They handle better than many vehicles and have brakes that can stop a train! And they have the AW71 transmission used in Isuzu box trucks hooked up to LS v8s!

[@mds2465]

A lot of times on those the fuel pump fuse underneath the hood goes bad. It's on the driver's side right above the front wheel well. This was a design flaw on these cars and a lot of times what happens is this fuse gets compromised overtime by rainwater and subsequently self-destructs. Most guys just replace them with waterproof fuses and that will prevent this issue from ever happening again. In your case, I don't doubt that the pump itself is bad but I would also encourage you to check out this fuse underneath the hood as well because I see a lot of problems with that.

[@saabkyle04]

I will let my friend know that. Thank you for the insight!!

[@damianpasour]

Very sweet car these were solid cars from what I’ve heard from people they were really reliable too

[@idfkanymorelol]

kyle, do you think you could do a video starting up all of your cars like you did in the early channel days?

[@Mastermindyoung14]

Keep the old bricks alive!!

[@ammagato]

Ritengo la serie 200, io l'ho avuta, la migliore macchina in assoluto!

Put a modern manual in it. ^^ Nice happy clean Volvo ^^

Oh and this is when vehicles actually came with paint properly applied😊

hi kyle

[@AmraphelofShinar]

I've used those Scott glass paper towels for years. They're awesome. Just watch out for the first one or two that have glue on them. Don't use those on your windows. Use them for something else.

Nice! Volvo s80 T6 rims

Hey Kyle great video as usual! I love this kind of video. Is there a possibility you could review a 2022 or up Honda Civic Si? It would be great to see an in depth style video on it!

“Gonna work top to bottom!” *starts with the wheels

[@williamcass68]

Back when Volvo made great cars!

[@Messier87_M87]

Hey Kyle! What’s that cleaner you used on the wheels. It looks like it works very good.

[@saabkyle04]

It's Pro X One All-Wheel & Tire Cleaner, it works great! You can get it at Oreilly. Here's a link: www.oreillyauto.com/detail/c/pro-x-one/pro-x-one-24-ounce-wheel-cleaner/pxo1/tw1?pos=4&manufacturer=true

I'm not a fan of Volvo. However, this was my user name anyway. But, great work on try to get it fire up anyway and put gas into this thing. But, my grandma bought a new S60 back then Then, my grandma passed away in 2009.

[@denisrousseau9071]

a tank review!

[@PaNativ]

The patina looks great. The paint is far from perfect, but it is a nice look. As far as the interior goes, get some real period sheep’s wool seat covers (at least for the front seats) and a new dash…and just steam clean the rest.

Clean yes pointless though can't drive it 🤣but I still watched video 😭😭

[@davordoronjga6720]

I don't want to sound like a jerk but next time you power wash a car, please don't cut and change screens that often. Keep it slow, take your time - that's the whole point of enjoying these videos. Here you start off with, say, back doors - after 3 seconds, boom, you're doing the roof. Next screen, the whole side of the car is already washed. I don't get it. Also, the sun didn't help. Take care

[@saabkyle04]

Thanks for watching and I appreciate the feedback. There's nothing I can do about the sun, it's a chilly time of the year and I don't have a place indoors where I can wash vehicles so it kinda is what it is. I try and avoid shadows the best I can. As far as the pressure wash clips, I'll keep that in mind. My thought was showing progress from different angles. If I took my time with the clips, like I think you're meaning, the video could be well over an hour and I don't think people would watch it. Attention spans are not what they used to so I'm trying to find a good balance. Thanks again!
