Restore Damaged, Faded, or Scratched Paintwork to Rejuvenate Your Finish!

Cut and Polish can restore that showroom finish on your car! A professional cut and polish from an experienced car detailer can rejuvenate dull and faded paintwork, and remove light scratches, swirl marks, and oxidation to restore the paint color on your car as well as improve the paint’s gloss, saturation, and clarity levels.

Cut and Polish is a common term to refer to paint correction. In essence, the “Cut” is about removing scratches & marks from the paintwork, whilst “Polish” is about restoring gloss.

The permanent top layer of your car’s paintwork, known as the ‘clear coat’ is rather thick. The paint correction process uses appropriate abrasive material to remove (or ‘cut) a thin layer of this coat that has become dull from oxidation or has visible light scratches and swirl marks to restore gloss, giving you a brighter and clearer finish.

Why Cut and Polish?

After periods of environmental exposure, wear and tear from daily use, maintenance, and washing – a vehicle will begin to look weathered and collect minor damages such as swirls and scratches in the paintwork.

A cut and polish is a fantastic way to permanently remove that wear and damage and restore the vehicle’s appearance to a like new condition.

Beyond that, allowing stained, oxidized, and environmentally contaminated paint to continue being on your vehicle will accelerate its deterioration even further and make the maintenance and washing of the vehicle more difficult and time-consuming. So a cut and polish can also be a vital step before applying any paint protection to a vehicle.

The primary benefits of a cut and polish service include:

• Removing fine or heavy scratches or defects
• Decontamination of the paintwork that a bucket and sponge can’t remove
• Paint correction
• Restoration of paint fading
• Adding gloss and shine to the paintwork
• Enhanced color depth and color rejuvenation

A professional will be able to look at your car and tell which level of car polishing or paint correction is required. Our service technicians know and understand the type of polishing compound to use, and which polishing pad is the best for each car. They will know the pressure to apply the polishing machine on the car without burning through the paint. They also have the correct tools to help them.

Preparation: The first step of a professional cut and polish is removing any foreign particles or decontamination from the paint surface.

Compounding: The next step is compounding. Compounds are miniscule abrasive elements that essentially buff the paint causing dull, scratched, oxidised spots, to appear better.

Polishing & Waxing: The final step is to apply a wax sealant as a protective barrier between the finish and the environment and polish the car to a mirror finish.
