Patina
Patina is the natural wear of an old car’s paint, interior and parts that shows its age and history, often valued by collectors.
What is Patina?
Preserved original cars are increasingly appreciated. Patina is different from neglect or active rust. Once restored, patina cannot be brought back. Cleaning and preserving with gentle products protects patina without hiding it.
How it works
Years of use and sun soften colours, wear surfaces and leave marks that show originality.
Why it matters for your car
Stop active corrosion even on a car kept with patina. Think carefully before repainting an original car.
