I very much like it.

My options were the 19” RD wheels, integrated exhausts, polestar tune and some small bits. Very much a contender for DD duty purchase in the not so distant future, in this spec.

Also, got a minor Svend in last night. Usual suspects: Gwash for the wash, chemical guys for the wheels, gyeon cure after the fact and Adams for the wheel wells. Also the tire shampoo I use is amazing and does not run after a rain. I can never remember the brand.

Got to love Gwash shampoo and Cure either used as a drying aid or standalone sealant.

The car looks great, the colour really pops.

I mis-remembered when I thought we got new Volvo V60 T5 or T6, they are V90 D5 s and XC90 T6 s for police cars. The XC90s are armed response and the V90s are unmarked traffic cars.

Personally I prefer these wheels on the Inscription trim. Volvo can’t release the pricing and availability details soon. I am looking forward to test driving the T6 AWD version

I like the Inscription models a bit better.  You can get the same AWD and engine configuration with a more interior colors.  Can’t wait to see pricing.

I was leaning towards a caramel/tan (can’t remember their color exactly) and inscription, but I like the R seats and the all black. The more I look at it I like some of the subtle changes like the rear fascia and Blacked out  trim. It would’ve sufficed but I’ve always been not much of a chrome guy. I don’t think you can go wrong with this car though, it all looks stunning

I too prefer the inscription wheels. I was disappointed with the offerings on the RD, however I think I would end up getting aftermarket (think BBS CH-R  if they fit) I prefer the blackout trim and rear fascia on the RD though, and I like the interior (even if I can’t get caramel/tan). I think the polestar tuning is specific to RD as well but I haven’t checked.

I picked up wet coat as well but haven’t gotten the chance to try it. The car looks Spectacular in the sun, I already got compliments on it just stopping at the gas station today.

Will the UK get the V60 at all?

Wetcoat is great, before I got an atomiser spray head (used for hairdressing), I’d spray on some Wetcoat, wipe over and then pressure wash to activate. I found that from time to time it can streak where the carrier splits from the product. For a Focus you should only need about 100-125ml of product. Dry the glass first then dry the vehicle or use Cure as a drying aid.

Pressure washing the Wetcoat off can be hypnotic as the water behaviour changes and the water dances on the car.

We get the V60 here. I just thought for a second it was V60s our police got, but they are V90s.
