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?

http://i1349.photobucket.com/albums/p759/Andr3wilson/ACR%20Viper/DSC_2408_zps1048ca3c.jpg

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!

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.
