// IS THIS RIGHT FOR YOU?
Is Cut & Polish Right for Your Car?
Cut and polish is the right choice when your paint needs more than just a wash — it needs correction.
It's ideal if:
- Has swirl marks, light scratches, or water spots
- Has dull, hazy, or oxidised paint
- Looks faded or lacks depth and gloss
- Is being prepared for sale and needs to look its best
If your paint only needs a thorough clean without correction, our Prestige Exterior Detail from $199 may be enough.
For deeper paint defects or heavy scratches, our Paint Correction service provides a more intensive multi-stage correction.

What Melbourne Car Owners Say

Frequently Asked Questions
What does cut and polish actually do?
Cut and polish uses a machine polisher with an abrasive compound to remove a microscopic layer of clear coat — taking swirl marks, oxidation, and road haze with it. A finer polish is then applied to restore gloss and depth. The result is paint that looks significantly cleaner, shinier, and newer.
Will it remove deep scratches?
Cut and polish removes light swirl marks, surface scratches, oxidation, and road haze. It cannot remove deep scratches that have gone through the clear coat into the base coat. If you have deep scratches, our Paint Correction service provides a more intensive multi-stage correction — we'll assess on arrival and advise accordingly.
What's the difference between Cut & Polish and Prestige Exterior?
Prestige Exterior is a thorough exterior clean and paint decontamination — clay bar, iron removal, hand wash, and ceramic spray. Cut & Polish includes everything here plus machine polishing to remove swirl marks, oxidation, and road haze. If your paint looks dull or has visible swirls, Cut & Polish is the right choice.
What's the difference between Cut & Polish and Paint Correction?
Cut & Polish is a single-stage machine polish — ideal for light swirl marks, oxidation, and road haze. Paint Correction is a more intensive multi-stage process for heavier defects. We'll assess your paint on arrival and recommend the right approach.
How long does it take?
It depends on the size and condition of your vehicle. We assess each car on arrival and let you know the estimated time before we start. As a guide, most cars take 2–3 hours.
Do I need to be home while you work?
Just be there to let us in and show us the water and power connection. After that you're free to go back inside, work, or relax. We'll text you when we're ready for the final walk-through inspection.
What if it rains?
If heavy rain is forecast on the day of your booking, we'll contact you to reschedule at no charge. Light showers are manageable but we'll always check conditions beforehand and keep you informed.
Is there upfront payment required?
No — no upfront payment required. You pay by cash or card on the day once the job is complete and you're happy with the result.
Do you need water and power?
Yes — we need a standard power outlet and an outdoor water tap within 20 metres of the vehicle.
