RESCUING a Legend: Abandoned 1960s Jensen Interceptor Paint Restoration

Rescuing a Legend: 1960s Jensen Interceptor Paint Restoration

There is nothing quite like the soul of a classic British grand tourer, but this 1960s Jensen Interceptor had definitely seen better days. After sitting outside for over eight months, the iconic red paintwork had become dull, oxidized, and completely lifeless.

Following a sympathetic mechanical restoration, the car arrived at Joe Huntley Detailing Ltd for the final—and perhaps most dramatic—transformation: a full multi-stage paint correction.

In this video, I take you through the entire process of reviving this classic's luster. From the initial deep clean and decontamination to the heavy cutting stages required to peel back years of oxidation, you'll see exactly what it takes to bring "dead" single-stage paint back to a deep, mirror-like gloss.

What’s covered in this detail:

Initial Inspection: Assessing the damage after 8 months of exposure.
Paint Decontamination: Removing embedded grit and fallout.
Machine Polishing: Using various pads and compounds to level the paint and remove heavy swirling.
The Refinement Stage: Bringing out that signature deep red glow.
Protection: Ensuring this piece of automotive history stays protected for the road ahead.

The Jensen Interceptor is a masterpiece of design, and it was an honor to restore the finish it truly deserves. If you enjoy satisfying car detailing transformations and classic car restorations, make sure to hit that subscribe button!
