Today was my last dance with the 1994 Hennessey Viper Venom 600 that I've been detailing for the last year and a half or so. Mike called me the other day and asked me to come out and give it one last detail before the new owner picked it up tonight. You'll have to excuse that most of the pictures in this album don't have the hood on. The Hennessey hood is designed to lift off the car when you need to work on the engine. it doesn't hinge like the stock hood does.
He wanted me to clean up the other pieces that I hadn't detailed before too. He went to Hennessey shortly after he bought the car in 1994, so I don't know how they got so thrashed. The front was covered in scuffs and tar. Nothing that Four Star Adhesive and Tar remover and a little ScratchX couldn't handle, but it was certianly a mess. Then there was the issue of all the overspray. When the new parts were painted they must have just left thse lying on the floor near by. They were totally covered in overspray. It took awhile to get it all off. I wasn't really prepared for overspray and I just had some standard Four Star clay with me. It did the job just fine though. A little Wolfgang pre-wax and sealant and the job was done. I'll miss detailing this car, but I'm sure whatever he buys to replace it will be just as sweet. I gave him one of my fridge magnet business cards so he wouldn't forget to call me when he gets his new ride.
edit:
I guess I should tell you about the rest of the products used. I used Four Star Rubber and Vinyl Protectant on the engine parts. It was only dusty, so I wiped it down with a wet wash mit and then applied the protectant after. It took awhile to clean out all the dust, but it looked really good after.
I used Four Star Bazooka tire shine on the tires. I like Bazooka because I have never had it sling. Eagle One Wet is my second favorite, but even that one slings a little bit... Bazooka doesn't.
Invisible Glass on the window and headlights.
NXT wash on the outside.
Wolfgang on the paint.
Wolfgang Leather Conditioner on the seats.
Meguiar's Interior Detailer on the rest of the inside.
