Full details of Médéric's Golf 3 VR6

Before detailing begins, it's important to prepare the vehicle properly by ensuring that it is perfectly decontaminated. This involves a thorough cleaning to remove dirt, contaminants and paint imperfections.

The first step is to inspect the vehicle to identify areas that need attention. Next, an exterior cleaning is carried out, followed by a decontamination process to remove contaminants stuck to the paint surface.

Detailing is a science in itself, requiring a mastery of various techniques. We used a number of methods to restore the shine of the paintwork and improve the overall appearance of the vehicle.

Claying

Claying is an essential part of detailing. It's a process that uses a special clay paste to clean and degrease the paintwork. This removes encrusted residues and prepares the surface for polishing.

Polishing and defect correction

After cleaning, polishing is carried out to correct any defects in the paintwork. Various types of product are used, including Gyeon's hard and medium polishers, to achieve a flawless finish.

Polishing restores the paintwork's shine and reduces the appearance of defects. Although some defects may be too deep to remove completely, the end result is game changing.

Protecting paintwork with ceramic treatment

Once polishing is complete, it's important to protect the paintwork to maintain its shine. We have applied a ceramic protection that offers exceptional durability.

Applying the Ceramic

Ceramic protection is applied to the paint to create a protective barrier against the elements. This hydrophobic layer also makes future cleaning easier.

The 3 benefits of ceramic treatment

• Longer-lasting protection
• Resistance to chemicals
• Ease of cleaning

By applying ceramics, we guarantee that the paintwork on the Golf 3 VR6 will remain protected against external aggression for years to come.

Interior detailing

Detailing is not limited to the exterior of the vehicle. The interior of the Golf 3 VR6 has been reworked to ensure a perfect finish.

Leather and carpet cleaning

Leather and carpets have been thoroughly cleaned to remove accumulated dirt. A special treatment has been applied to revive the colours of plastic and leather surfaces.

1. Deep cleaning of leather
2. Renovation of interior plastics
3. Shampooing carpets

This in-depth cleaning not only removes traces of the past from the interior, but also extends the life of the materials.

The final touches are what distinguish exceptional detailing. In the case of the Golf 3 VR6, a number of details have been added to accentuate its unique character.

Audio enhancements

To bring back memories of youth, an audio system has been installed. This includes a modern car radio and adapted speakers, offering an incomparable listening experience.

• Installation of an Alpine CDA 9812RB car radio and FM transmitter
• Addition of quality speakers
• Integration of a JBL subwoofer

These enhancements combine style and performance, while recalling the golden era of the Golf 3.

Farewell to the purists

Everything was going well on the VR6 project, until Nicolas decided to install neon lights under the car as a reminder of the 90s and 2000s. Clearly, while the Golf's 'restoration' was going well up to that point, for the true purists, this was just too much ^^

So fast so furious!

The detailing of the Golf 3 VR6 was a meticulous process that required time and expertise. Every step, from cleaning to protection, was carefully planned and executed. With restored paintwork, a spotless interior and modern upgrades, this car has been restored to its former glory. The work carried out by the Shiftech team demonstrates the importance of detailing in preserving and enhancing the aesthetics and value of vehicles.
