    Three weekends

    Got my Viper on November 15th 2013.

    Spent the last 3 weekends detailing it for the first time.

    Weekend 1 - 2 coats of cleaner wax
    Weekend 2 - 2 coats of polish
    Weekend 3 - 2 coats of Carnuba wax.

    Also did some weight reduction, Removed the 'SRT10' under the 'Viper' emblems from the front fenders and the 'Dodge' emblem from the rear bumper. So maybe .1 pounds lighter. Wanted a cleaner look and not have to deal with wax in the small letters.

    Have not spent this much time cleaning a car in a couple years. My arms are dead. Still need to detail the wheel wells and remove wheels and tires to clean them 100%

    So I guess this is a work in progress.

    Car is looking good! Polished wheels look good on there too. I'm surprised that you removed the 1 inch SRT letters and left the 1 foot SRT letters on the windshield if you wanted a cleaner look though.

    Looks Great! All that wax probably added back the .1 pound! I enjoy detailing my cars!

    My sentiments exactly.

    Too funny.

    I really want to remove them but my boss (7 year old granddaughter) likes them for now.

    They will come off sooner or later.
