Retopology?

Hi guys I just did a model to render and was not happy with the car reflections, Somebody suggested that the car Model need some retopology, reflection aren’t working properly. This is a completely new to me could somebody assist me with this, Can I change tris to quads in sketchup?

Yes, you can turn tris into quads in SketchUp. Do you know what a quad is?
Regarding your project, it also depends on what the geometry of that car actually looks like.

Thanks quads are rectangles as apposed to triangles mesh so that subdivision can occur. can I import an FBX into SU?

Quads are not (necessary) rectangles. Subdivision can also occur for triangles and quads and ngons.
Yes, FBX can be imported in SketchUp, using an extension.

hello,
you can get decent daytona SP3 models in sketchfab, inside twinmotion.
here is a comparison between a model I found in 3d warehouse and the first one I tried from sketchfab

warehouse :


sketchfab :

as for the fbx import, I believe it will be cleaner to import directly in twinmotion
