RALLYE GOLF DETAIL | A Satisfying Detail of a Pristine 1990 VW Rallye Golf

Crazy for words to see that this vehicle was transported from my home country to Canada! I have never seen this Golf on public roads in the past 30 years. It turns out to be a collector's item. Great result!

[@RADGarage]

Yes, it is a rare car I was not aware of until very recently. It turned out fantastic!

[@livnrossome]

That Rallye is such a clean little setup. Literally.

[@RADGarage]

Yup, it is hard to believe this car is as old as it is. It has been resprayed at least once in its life, but the overall condition is very nice. Living most of its life in Spain surely helped!

[@stevengregory3310]

Insane depth of gloss and clarity Rick. It’s a joy watching your posts. Bet the owner was blown away with the results 👍

[@RADGarage]

The owner was very pleased with the results. Thanks for the compliment on the gloss and clarity. It really is a nice paint job.

[@joevanseeters2873]

WOW. You made that car look better than the day it rolled off the showroom floor! VERY NICE JOB RICK. The owner can be proud to have that car as part of his collection.

[@joevanseeters2873]

@@RADGarage That's cool he has a passion for those type of vehicles. Not everybody can do the "supercars" per se in their collections, but these type cars are "supercars" in their own right and to the right person, they are even more special than a Bugatti! Love it.

[@RADGarage]

I agree completely, Joe. There seems to be a massive upswing in the interest in these rare gems that have, for too long, been overlooked and under appreciated. I enjoy seeing and interacting with cars that came about under unique circumstances.

[@Codriver72]

I remember when I did my military service in the Swedish Air Force we had a "normal" Golf Mk2 Synchro. It had the 1.8 lite natural aspirated engine but 4wd wich was quite unique for the time. Someone did break the 4wd system once and it had to be repaired. Thanks for another fantastic video, Rick. You know I love your style. Take care.

[@ericstehle753]

Another home run, Rick! I enjoyed all the the polishing shots in this one. So I've been detailing cars for 30 years strictly as a hobby, doing my families cars. How would you suggest getting the chance to polish and ceramic coat beautiful cars like you do? I feel people won't understand the value of all the hard work and cost to ceramic coat. I simply love doing it and would relish in the chance to detail other nice cars. Thank you so much for making these wonderful videos.

[@RADGarage]

Eric, I'm not sure how to answer your question since I am not sure how I have been able to connect with such cool and unique cars. I guess the key is social media. The channel has afforded me countless opportunities to touch base with a variety of owners with a variety of vehicles. When people see the videos, they see the care and attention I give and they are sold! So, what's a few ways you can showcase your passion for detailing with the community where you are? Truthfully, the paint correction and ceramic coating process can be a hard sell to people who don't have a real deep passion (obsession) for their cars here. I have people say, "Whatever you think, Rick" but with the challenges a lot of people face with just maintaining a clean car, I don't always suggest going the ceramic route. Maintaining a ceramic coating here can be more of a challenge than just maintaining a clean car.

@@RADGarage what’s the longevity of the coating you used on the rallye golf?

[@RADGarage]

This car won't see much use so that will bode well for the coating's longevity. I don't typically see more than a year of longevity with coatings in Calgary. The weather is just so nasty for so much of the year. Add in the dust, snow, road grime, salt, and gravel on the roads. I cringe when installers claim years of protection. I just haven't seen that. Especially, since most owners are not going to have the wherewithal to properly clean and care for their coatings throughout the winter. (Let alone the other three seasons).

[@antonyv8171]

@@RADGarage would u then say a full PPF is better in those weather conditions rather than a ceramic coating?

[@RADGarage]

Well, a full PPF wrap offers the ultimate protection, but then you start to worry about protecting your wrap! It's a never-ending cycle! I do know a few people who have completely wrapped their cars with PPF and then added a ceramic coating to the film. That's the way I will probably go on my next car. Then, when a rock does damage a portion of your film, you are faced with the decision on whether to live with it, or have that section replaced. There's no cheap/easy way to do it unfortunately.

[@clintrockabar8100]

What an amazing transformation! That looked like a lot of work with the nano polisher, how long did the actual paint correction take, if you don't mind me asking? How easy was the NV ceramic coating to apply? Another great video, Rick, thanks for sharing! Also love the conversation at the end, it's interesting to find out about the history of these cars.

[@RADGarage]

Thanks Clint. This one came out great. Because this is for a really good friend, I went way overboard and spent quite a few hours doing what I could to rectify as much as I could. I would say I invested ten hours on the correction/refinement stage and the majority of that was with the iBrid. The NV EVO is super easy and satisfying to apply. I might go so far as to say it was the most pleasurable application of a ceramic coating to date. It was cool for Ken to share his experience with the Rallye edition Golf. I learn a lot through my car buddies. Take care.
