Let me introduce Candy, she's real sweet! 97 GTS Dodge Viper

[Tru_Shine]

I took a trip up to Top Gun Customz in Alcoa TN to detail this 700hp 1997 Dodge Viper GTS. Her name is Candy and she is real sweet with her supercharged V10! This was my first time working on a Dodge viper, so I was ready to jump in there and make this bad girl shine.



here is the car when I arrived.

So lets get this started! I began by spraying down the engine bay with some APC (all purpose cleaner) and then agitated it with various brushes

Once I finished the agitation I rinsed it down and began to blow dry all of the crevices with my Metro Magic Air.

Then I liberally applied some 303 aerospace protectant to the entire engine bay.

Now that the engine bay was complete, Next I started on the wheels.



I applied P21s wheel Gel diluted to 3:1 ratio, and I let it dwell for about 15 min.

Then agitated it with my EZ detail brush and other various brushes.

After the Wheels, I sprayed a coat of Snow Foam with my Foam canon attachment.

Let it dwell and roll of any heavy dirt

then Rinse.......

After the heavy dirt was washed off I applied another coat of snow foam and began to wash the paint using a two bucket method.

then rinsed.....

I dried it using a ReThickulous towel.

Once all of the oils and previous waxes were removed, the Tru Surface is revealed!

Now it's time to bring it in and prep it and clay it.



I used Clay magic blue fine clay and Show room shine as clay lube.

This is just half the hood!

Now it's time for the compounding stage, I used my Flex 3401 with Lake country Cyan Hydrotech pad, with Meguiars M105.

here is a 50/50 of the piller.

Next after the Compounding stage I polish the paint with a Tangerine Hydrotech pad and Meguiars M205 polish.

After the paint was polished I sealed it using Black Fire Wet Diamond



then I polished the wheels using Bushes Polsih

and then treated the door jams with 303
