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

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 :furious:. From some of the photos you can tell the car looks pretty wet, great job :clap:.

Whoa, that is one mirror black Viper. Incredible work on that paint! I`d also be interested in hearing how you cleaned the inside of the wheels.

I think Rick mentioned in an earlier post, that he takes the wheels off the car.



RICK - AWESOME work. Very wet looking Viper :bow :bow :bow
