  • Detail: 99 Dodge Viper

    This client was referred to me by the other black Viper I completed not long ago. He had a major stripe issue where a previous detailer ran his buffer over them and it discolored them severely. The car is black with flat black stripes so it almost "brightened up" a few spots making it noticeable. They had a lot of water spotting on them but Meguiars M40 cleaned those up no problem but didn't take care of the discoloration. He plans on still replacing them.

    This detail was fairly simple, ONR wash, decon, and a "one step" light correction/protection (two passes). Perfection was not on the agenda today but simply to remove a fair amount of swirling, enhance the shine, and protect the finish. And here we go.

    Exterior:
    • ONR with a ton of CG MF's.
    • Speedy Prep towel fine
    • Wheels/barrels were hit with ONR and wheel specific black MF towels to ensure no marring
    • Wheel wells and rubber were hit with APC 5:1 & various brushes
    • Tires dressed with Show Room FX White Pearl
    • Rubber seals on doors/headlights/tailights treated with M40
    • CarPro Eraser
    • Meguiars M40
    • Wells treated with CG Bare Bones
    • D300 Meguiars MF Cutting Disc
    • D301 Meguiars MF Polishing Disc

    Interior:
    • Vacuumed
    • Dry brushed
    • Vacuumed once more
    • Interior panels cleaned with Meguiars QID
    • Glass treated with Meguiars Perfect Clarity and Buff & Shine glass towels





    The tools on the agenda today. ORIGINAL PC and Griot's 3" DA.


    The finish had tons of random strikes. The MF/D300 took care of those with ease.












    I was sad to hear another local detailer who I know left this like this.


    CarPro Eraser took care of that no problem.


    TAPE MONSTER:




    And now the afters. Again, perfection isn't what we were focused on here for this detail.














    Here you can see where the previous detailer taped the striping but struck it enough to leave some markings.












    Questions/Comments always welcome.
