Re: 1997 Dodge Viper GTS
Ya I'm not too sure about simple green... It will definitely strip all the wax, sealant, or fillers off but it wouldn't be what I would call a gentle wash... Although maybe you're just thinking about using it for an engine degreaser which is probably fine.
Very cool car though.

I used to have one of those, but mine you could hold in one and and go "vroom..." lol
I think the only thing I use that is not designed for detailing specifically. Is rubbing alcohol (IPA) other than that. I just like to stick with detailing products. (Just OCD)
What I like to do before applying opti coat is throw in an ounce of APC concentrate in my foam gun mixed with soap and foam it down that way, to strip of all the waxes. To apply opti coat. But might be overkill for regular waxes and sealants.
After polishing the paint you could just do a WW. If you really wanted to go a step further you could do an IPA wipedown too. Then apply your wax or sealant. Probably at 1 part IPA and 3 parts water.
Just some thoughts and good luck...!

Re: 1997 Dodge Viper GTS
I tried to mark the items together that I will be using. The Simple green is for parts of the engine bay and the wheel well openings and suspension parts. Far too strong of a cleaner anywhere else. I should get a lot done this weekend.

BTW simple green is fine for what you are using it for, I occasionally do the same with no ill effects! A lot of haters of it on this site though.

yeah that sounds fine, I thought you were going to use it for wipe downs on the paint. Good luck and keep us posted.
