    So, monday afternoon I am getting my hands on a red GT-R to detail for the local nissan dealership. They are delivering it monday afternoon.

    So they waxes I have are:

    RB Juiced Edition

    Chemical Guys 50/50

    Victorias Red

    Pete's 53


    What do guys think I should use as the LSP?

    I vote for Pete's 53, it will add a really nice warm glow and bring out the flakes like crazy.

    RB Juiced Edition. I'd tell you to use Pinnacle LS Polycharged but you don't have it yet...:shrug:

    I only have Pete's '53 out of those waxes, so that gets my vote!

    I was thinking the same thing. When I seen it, it didn't look metallic to me.

    This is the one I did under halogens, after correction. The paint is not metallic and soft, not always a fun combo for doing correction work. Personally I would go the sealant route on GT-R red, the carnauba glow wont go a long way on this color, go for that bright, wet, glossy finish you get from a good sealant.
