00:00 Hi, I'm Justin Barron of Motor Trend. I'm here at SEMA 2023 and at the Xpel booth where we're probably going to get the chance to scratch a GTR.
00:08 One of five. Yep. Road legal. P1. Multi-million dollar by the way.
00:13 Yeah, we don't know what the car is genuinely worth because while you might be able to find a GTR that was tracked, you know, tracked.
00:20 Yeah, it just drops value. You don't know what you're getting. A road legal one?
00:24 Yeah, that's even more money. Yeah, who knows.
00:26 You said one of five correct? One of five that was made by McLaren to be road legal.
00:30 But we're going to show that we can scratch up a P1 GTR and not be careful of it. Right.
00:35 Trying to come up to the very edge and be barely indistinguishable.
00:48 And look, it's darn near disappeared from it. Yes.
00:51 If you look at it, you have to get really close to see that there is a differentiating line from the rest of the car.
00:56 But other than that, it's practically invisible.
00:59 Let's do the big thing. Let's scratch a P1 GTR. Yeah.
01:02 All right. Go ahead, buddy.
01:04 Again, same brush. We're going to do the same thing we did there. We're going to do a few little swirls.
01:09 Can you hear this? Hang on, let me see if I can get close enough.
01:18 I'll tell you what, I'm going to pop my mic off.
01:21 All right. There you go. So now we scratch this GTR.
01:28 All right. I'll take the heat gun.
01:30 Heat gun. And again, you don't have to do this with a heat gun.
01:35 You can just let the sun do it. That's right.
01:37 I don't think this car sits out in the sun very much. Oh, wow. Look at that. Instantaneous.
01:41 That is so cool.
01:47 And again, you wouldn't even have to do this with a heat gun.
01:49 You just let it do it just sitting outside on your regular car.
01:53 That is really incredible. And it's all gone.
01:56 Oh, sorry.
01:59 It's gone.
02:01 That's amazing.
02:03 Holy cow. Isn't that insane?
02:06 So I can assure you that we've never done this before. Right.
02:09 This is a first for us. Love the fact we did it with Motor Trend.
02:12 All right. Chris Hardy, thank you so much for letting us do something this incredible.
02:18 Because again, this is a multi-million dollar, one of five street legal cars.
02:22 And we just scratched it, but it repaired.
02:25 And just remember, it's not just these cars. We can protect everything. Inside and out.
