Classic Dodge Vipers are definitely a gem, especially if they are still running and kept in mint condition. That’s the exact opposite of what we have here in this featured video.
The current owner, Matt, has a 1994 Dodge Viper RT10 in his garage, sitting idle and abandoned. He called people a WD Detailing to detail it, although it wasn’t the first time he’d done it.
A year ago, Matt had already contacted the WD Detailing team for the same job, which was completed but he was unable to revive the car because he had a heart attack while working on it. Now, the Viper is once again in need of some TLC and the team at WD Detailing wasn’t taking any excuses for Matt not to get it back on the road. People still agreed to work on the Viper, on two conditions: that it be parked inside the garage with a car cover; and that it should be driven at least once every two weeks on sunny days in the summer.
A little history about the car: Matt acquired his brother’s classic Dodge Viper after his death. It was abandoned in the barn for three years after that.
Naturally, the Viper was covered in dirt and the interior was infested with mold. The restoration work involved a full detailing process. To begin with, the exterior of the car was pressure washed to remove debris. Then, it was shampooed, sanded with clay, and polished to restore its shine. This process required a lot of time and effort, but the end result is worth it, as the classic sports car looks like new.
The Viper’s interior was not forgotten, of course, as it required all the detailing, including the removal of moulds. The mold was likely the result of the car being left unused for a long time, and the humidity and moisture provided the perfect environment for mold to grow. However, with the right tools and techniques, the mold was removed and the interior thoroughly cleaned.
In keeping with Matt’s promise to revive the Viper, the video also teased a surprise at the end.
