Reviving a Legend: Detailing and Fully Protecting a Rare Renault Mégane R26.R in Racing Blue

Reviving a Legend: Detailing and Protecting a Rare Renault Mégane R26.R in Racing Blue

At Protect Your Paintwork Ltd, we recently had the privilege of working on a truly exceptional vehicle: the Renault Mégane R26.R. Known for its track-ready performance and iconic Racing Blue finish, this car is a collector's dream. With only 450 units ever produced, and just 230 allocated to the UK, the R26.R is a rare sight on the road. Even more exclusive, the French Racing Blue variant makes this vehicle a true standout.


*Unmatched Performance and Features*


The R26.R is not just about looks; it's a powerhouse of performance. With a 230bhp engine, it accelerates from 0-62 mph in just 5.9 seconds, reaching a top speed of 147 mph. This model is equipped with factory-fitted plastic windows, a roll cage, and carbon bucket seats, all designed to enhance its track capabilities while maintaining the car's lightweight structure.


*Detailing: Bringing Out the Best*


Our detailing process began with the careful removal of the original PPF, which had aged over time. This allowed us to perform a full paint correction, addressing any imperfections and restoring the car's stunning Racing Blue finish. We also touched up some stone chips to ensure the surface was flawless before applying the new PPF.


*PPF Installation: The Ultimate Protection*


To preserve the freshly corrected paintwork, we performed a full-body Paint Protection Film (PPF) installation using our precision Graphtec 8600-160 plotter. The Suntek self-healing film was expertly applied to fit the R26.R's unique contours, providing an invisible shield against chips, scuffs, and UV rays without altering its appearance.
