For many of us, there is nothing more satisfying than seeing our gleaming, shiny Jensen after weu2019ve given it a really good clean and polish. The sun glinting off our hard labour as we stand back and admire both the car and the handiwork, is all part of the ownership experience.nnOver time, the arch enemy of those really bight bits, oxidisation, can occur.nnThe patina and rust can set in. Spots form and no matter how well you clean polish and dry them, the shine can become mottled. Over time, it will need replacing. While original parts can be sourced some cheaper modern alternatives may add a shine but are not correct in size and shape.n

Cropredy has spent nearly fifty years working on Jensen cars and our knowledge and experience makes the difference.nnThe first thing to do is to quantify the severity of any spots. Rust can and will happen and if it is severe, you have two choices. One, replace the worst affected parts or two, have the original ones re-chromed. Our technicians can advise you at our workshop if you are unsure.nnWe not only source high quality replacement parts but can fabricate and fit new chrome work. Using the best plating techniques, it means we have the capability to bring back to life the finish of your Jensen.n

As long as there is no oxidisation a simple routine of cleaning with warm and mild soapy water with a soft cloth, a rinse with cool clean water and then towel dry, will see your car shining for many happy years ahead.n
