Re: {Chrysler 300} 300 leopord

Hi Drew,

I think you’ll need to polish this out. Hopefully just the topsides - hood, roof, trunk. Seeing your beautiful ‘62 at Iola, we know it’s all original paint, but for the decklid - photo attached. So you’re preserving its original single-stage Festival Red enamel paint, and not a second stage clearcoat found on newer repaints. I’m not familiar with F11 products and have not used ceramic offerings.

When our cars get rained on out at shows, it’s best to dry them soon after the rain stops - which of course you now know!

Leading up to Iola I spent 3 days and put about 12 coats of orbital buffing and then waxing on my Uncles 62. A few weeks ago I went to a local show and a rain storm came in quick for about 20 minutes and then immediately after the sun was blaring again. Thinking I was smart I took a walk and waited 45 minutes for the roads to dry back up and then went home. With all the waxing I had figured I was in great shape. When I got home I found the entire car had terrible water spots. It gave it a wash hoping they would come off but I don’t think it helped at all. Does anyone have any advice other than re polishing this out? My final coat of was was F11 and I am now concerned that was a mistake.
