0 Chris@Adams Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 I agree make sure you do a test spot first to see what it will take to correct the Viper's paint. Take your time and don't move your Cylco too fast...... Team Adam's 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 GlossAngeles Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 The clear isn't too bad on vipers. With the microfiber pads you should be able to make quick work of those swirls. Post pictures when done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 2012srt8 Posted July 5, 2014 Author Share Posted July 5, 2014 Ok sounds good. Probably won't start it until the first week of august. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Team Adam's Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Your Grandpa has a Viper?!? The Cyclo will work well. As others mentioned, a test section is key to finding the right combo the that particular car and level of damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Beemer Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Your Grandpa has a Viper?!? Easy, fella. Some of us have been grandpas for a long time. I was a 40 year old grandpa. Team Adam's 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 eric@thompsonracing.us Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 The paint on my '08 is some of the worst paint I have worked with. It swirls just looking at it and takes forever to correct. Take your time, as these cars are hand built and full of imperfections. They usually have pretty bad gaps on fenders, doors and decklids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 eric@thompsonracing.us Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Cool grandpa! Determining how old someone is has nothing to do with age!! Good luck with the detail. Post pics when you get a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
