Volvo Owners Club Forum - View Single Post - XC90 towbar does it need cleaned for a friction hitch

Just swapped my XC60 for an XC90 & had the dealer fit the Volvo tow bar.

My previous bars have all come painted so had to remove paint to be compatible with the caravans Alde hitch which has friction pads.

The XC90 towbar looks to be self colour metal or it may be lacquered, does anyone know if this bar has to be 'cleaned' before use with wet & dry? Or is it just fine as supplied?

Thanks
