Yup you read the title correct. ACR Convertible.

Background on this car - Only 20 made and currently the only in Canada - absolute privilege to work on for sure!

DISCLAIMER - When I started and kinda forgot to take wash photos, car had never seen rain so it was a light dust, nothing exciting

Engine bay was steam cleaned and wiped down with POLISHANGEL ENINGE.

Next I had to deal with the paint. The red is a solid colour - actually is somewhat decent condition. Minor marring and swirls around it. Corrected with a Megs MF cutting pad and POLISHANGEL MASTER COMPOUND.

Next I tackled the hood and the trunk - solid black paint that happened to be soft! Great eh?

I corrected with the same Megs MF pad and MASTER COMPOUND. There was a bit of haze after this step. So I cleaned it up with POLISHANGEL INVINCIBLE coating primer.

Camera and lights don't get along well - pardon the glare

After I finished the hood and trunk, refined the red paint on the body to prep for coating and make it a gloss monster

Next I machined applied 2 coats of POLISHANGEL COSMIC paint coating to enhance and protect this beautiful machine!

Really proud of the hood - nearly 8 hours in total on it! All the vents and curves where a challenge!

Thanks for the read! Enjoy :)
 
Outstanding results. Can't say i'm familiar with PolishAngel products but they look fantastic on that Viper.
 
Nice job bud! Guy at the gym I go to owns a black Viper and once I open my detailing business I'd really like to do his just to say I detailed a Viper.
 
Thanks a lot guys! Fair amount of hard work was put into this!

Mike - Fav shot too!!
 
Yes indeed it sure was beast of a car! I have another viper in right now, big job. Might do a write up for it.
 
Amazing work Andrew. You did such a great job on a beautiful car. One day I will have to give some Polish Angel a try.
 
Viper came out great! Never heard of a convertible ACR either. Did you do any work on the wheels?
 
Beautiful Work!! I just picked up PA Master Compound, Final Polish, Invincible Primer, and Cosmic. Cant wait to try it!! Can you tell us anything about the use of products?

Thanks! I can even hook you up with free shipping being you are 20 mins away!

Thanks, again very rare car! Nothing on the wheels other than clean and wipe down with RAPIDWAXX spray wax!

Thats great to hear!! :) What can I tell you? Hmm well the product is very easy to use, nice working time and looks spectacular! MC and FP have very linear cutting (abrasives don't break down fast). Invincible starts harder, but breaks down quick and very clear - makes an excellent one step with a cutting/polishing pad. Low to now dust too! :)
