Cut and Polish
Paint Correction
“Cut & polish” paint correction to remove as many scratches and marks as possible. Restore your paintwork to the ultimate shine.
Multi-step Correction
Our multi-step paint correction process, or “cut & polish,” removes clear coat damage and locks in shine and gloss for years to come.
We start with a full body detail and two-step (mechanical and chemical) paint decontamination. We prep all plastic and delicate surfaces before carefully examining the damage that needs to be corrected. The paint then undergoes a 2-3+ step correction process. This paint correction process removes as many scratches as possible while restoring a glossy and shiny finish.
One-Step Paint Correction
Our One Step Paint Correction package is designed to restore depth, gloss, and clarity to your vehicle’s paintwork—ideal for cars with light to moderate swirl marks, oxidation, or dull finishes.
Using a precision polishing system, we refine your paint in a single pass, removing up to 60–80% of visible defects and reviving the colour and shine that’s been hiding beneath years of wear.

Paint Correction & Cut and Polish – Wellington FAQs
Paint correction is a professional process that removes imperfections from your vehicle’s clear coat, such as swirl marks, light scratches, oxidation, water spots, and holograms. This is achieved through careful machine polishing using abrasive compounds and polish to restore depth, gloss, and clarity to the paint surface.
Unlike a basic polish or wax, paint correction permanently removes defects rather than temporarily covering them. It’s a highly skilled process tailored to the condition and type of your vehicle’s paintwork.
A cut and polish is a common term for a simplified version of paint correction. “Cut” refers to the compounding stage that removes surface damage, while “polish” enhances the shine afterward. It’s generally a one-step or two-step process and works well for vehicles with moderate clear coat damage.
Full multi-stage paint correction, however, involves several stages of compounding and polishing, achieving a higher level of defect removal — often upwards of 90–95% of visible imperfections. We recommend full correction for heavily damaged or high-value vehicles where perfection is the goal.
Absolutely. Many daily drivers and older vehicles suffer from years of neglect, car wash swirls, and environmental wear. Paint correction is a cost-effective way to revive a car’s appearance without needing a respray. Even a one-step correction can dramatically improve resale value, pride of ownership, and shine.
It’s also a great investment before applying long-term protection like a ceramic coating or paint protection film.

Yes — ceramic coating is the best way to protect your freshly corrected paint. Once the surface is restored and defect-free, a ceramic coating will lock in the shine, repel water, resist staining, and protect against UV damage for years.
We highly recommend this upgrade if you want to maintain that "just detailed" finish long-term with minimal upkeep.

Restore your vehicle’s shine with expert paint correction services in Wellington.

Over time, exposure to UV rays, road grime, and poor washing techniques can cause your vehicle’s paintwork to fade, crack, or deteriorate. That’s why we strongly recommend professional car paint correction followed by long-lasting protection.
To maintain that flawless finish, we offer premium ceramic coatings and paint protection film (PPF) services. These protective solutions prevent future damage, reduce maintenance needs, and keep your car looking showroom-new.
