Sapphire Blue RT-10 Viper

This Viper is a 2001 with only 4,000 miles. The previous owner took decent care of it but wasn't very meticulous. The interior was pretty dirty as well as the outside. There were some moderate scratches on most of the panels, especially the side skirts from getting in & out of the car. The inside of the wheels were filthy.

My process:

Washed exterior

Clayed with Opti-Clay

Buffed complete exterior with Compound Moose

Buffed complete exterior with FP II

Werkstatt's Prime by hand

Souveran by hand

Super Blue dressing on wheels & wheel wells

Wicked metal polish on wheels

Glorious detail! How'd you clean the inside of the wheels?

Beautiful. Looking to add a snake later this summer, hopefully a Sapphire Blue w/ Silver Stripes GTS. I love the feel of Vipers, just a pure, raw, driver's car. Incredible on a road course.

Looks awesome. Shame the sun wasn't out, I bet that paint looks killer in the right light.

I was thinking the same thing. Awesome work - the finish, wheels, & tires all look outstanding. I can only imagine what a ray of sunshine would do.

lol @ phallic!

I noticed that, that colour on vipers doesn't show a good detail very well. For you to get it like that, is very impressive.

I may have to come down to your shop one day and check out some of these rides. You're only 20 away from me.

Where did the sun goes when you need it most . From some of the photos you can tell the car looks pretty wet, great job .
