Episode 2: Obsessed Ownership 2012, Volvo XC70 Exterior Evaluation

Before any correction, polishing, or protection, there’s one step that matters more than all the rest: understanding the paint. In this episode of Obsessed Ownership., I perform a full exterior evaluation on the 2012 Volvo XC70 — including a complete paint depth report to determine what’s original, what’s been worked on before, and how much room we actually have to improve the finish safely. This is the part of the process most people skip… and the step enthusiasts never do. We’ll break down: How to visually evaluate exterior condition Why paint depth matters before polishing How these numbers guide the entire correction plan No guessing. No unnecessary risk. Just informed decisions backed by data. This is how you respect the paint — and why “good condition” still needs a plan.
