    Red GTR with carbon fiber

    Finished up another GTR. This one was purchased used with the mods on it. Previous owner did NOT take care of this car what-so-ever... It`s far from being perfect but it looks much better now!

    ok so I`ve never worked on a GTR before but I do recall reading back in the day that they are tricky to polish because of the self healing clear coat or something?

    did you have any issues here or with the black one?

    both of them had the regular "hard clear" on it. it polished like regular. it did have a good amount of clear. some parts measured 11mils
