Exactly, ACTUAL patina instead of the decades of abuse and neglect guys love to label patina. I've come to hate that word.

True patina shows a vehicle that someone has tried to maintain down through the years polishing it possibly through the paint to the primer or even bare metal in spots but it really DOES "glow" with care.
