Dodge Viper Detail

I like teeth
I made a video of the exhaust on this beast car here: Dodge Viper Modded Exhaust - YouTube

This is a 2001 Dodge Viper with 589 HP AT THE WHEELS!!!

Much like Camaros, the clear coat on this paint was rock hard. I was able to one step it with M105 for about 85-90% correction.

This detail is going to go on for a few weekends at least, so here's just a teaser. I was only able to remove all the stupid stickers and correct the hood and roof.

Products used:

Heat Gun
Speedy Prep Towel
Ultima Waterless Wash Plus Concentrate
Griots Garage 6" DA
Meguiars M105
Optimum Microfiber Cutting Pad
Brilliant Glaze
Americana Paste Wax

After claying, the paint is a swirled mess!

Taking all those stickers off must have been a real pain but man, does that read look deep and rich now!!

Beautiful work and what a gorgeous Viper!! :bigups
 
sorry man, I do have some better pictures but I'll put those up when I actually finish this car. This car deserves to be taken pictures of when it's beautiful not when it's swirled and hologrammed out!

Thanks! The decals were actually quite easy to take off with a heat gun. Just heat, lift off edge, and then peel off. :)

I think you are talking about the 3m stripe off wheel?
