Cut And Polish / Paint Correction

Oxidised, faded/dull paint, water spots, scratches & swirl marks (holograms). We can also successfully remove paint overspray, metal shavings, various adhesives such as signwriting residue, road tar and other ‘hard to remove’ contaminants like sunscreen. We specialise in working with commercial clients to safely remove contaminants from cars near work sites that have been accidentally affected, offering a friendly approach to keep everyone happy.

Note: Not all scratches and/or blemishes can be removed. While we use the best tools, products, compounds and apply every effort to achieve the best possible results some damage/scratches will be beyond what a cut/polish service will be able to remedy. 

* If the clear coat is peeling, we are unable to repair this as it will need repainting. 

Short answer.. Because it makes vehicle paint look awesome! In some cases, better than brand new, by bringing out the depth and shine in colours.

Not-so-short answer.. Our New Zealand sun and ever-changing weather patterns provide a harsh environment for vehicle paint. Over time, the integrity of paintwork diminishes, resulting in a dulled and lacklustre appearance, commonly known as oxidisation. Toxins such as road tar, cement splashes, bug splats, pollens and animal/bird waste also damage paint, while scratches from regularly washing your car, or objects scraping by create unsightly marks that ONLY a professional cut and polish can repair & rectify. It also provides a layer that helps protect paint from the harsh elements for a period of months, slowing down the ageing process. For those who want the ultimate in long term protection, check out our ceramic coating options. These are an excellent add-on to a cut and polish.

Most of the time. If the scratch has gone through the paint or removed the paint, then we can touch up that area with a colour matched paint touch up kit, taking away the blatant eyesore of isolated scratches & stone chips. If however the scratch or scuff hasn’t gone too deep, we can polish it out or at least minimise it so that it is hardly noticeable.

Our Isolated Scratch Removal/Paint Touch up service is extremely popular with those who have a vehicle that is already in great shape and are wanting to get rid of some imperfections without having to pay for the expensive exercise of a respray. Each of our clients gets a free colour matched paint touch up kit to keep when getting this service too! Super handy for any unexpected bumps/scrapes or tidying things up when going to resell the vehicle in the future.

There are many outfits offering cheap cut and polish / detailing services, however in life – you get what you pay for! Lower quality machines and systems combined with inexperience can only provide lower quality results. Worse than that, they can damage the paint by burning through the clear coat which can be very costly to repair. Our service is not something that can be achieved by heading to your local Repco store, or found in many companies that are offering a ‘similar’ service for cheap. The difference between results is like night and day. Depth of colours are brought to life, light scratches removed and a true shine restored through our process. Also, we use only the highest quality tools and have thousands of hours, and years of experience doing this work. Plus – we guarantee our results!

No. Our focus is not on providing the cheapest car detailing service – our focus is on providing the best results, that equates to true value for money. We do not use discount tools, machines, chemicals/compounds nor do we discount the amount of time energy and effort we pour into each vehicle. This is why we are not a discount service.

Often our customers have come to us after they’ve had their vehicle polished by another company, and are disappointed with the substandard result. If you want a quick cover-up job done on your car’s paint – we’re not the right fit for you. However, if you want the job done right, first time – then we look forward to hearing from you.

When your paint needs it! Both summer and winter are ideal times to protect your vehicle’s paint — each season brings its own set of challenges.

In summer, your car is on full display, and there’s nothing like a deep, glossy finish to turn heads. But the hot sun and strong UV rays can cause fading and wear over time, so a proper polish and wax helps lock in shine and defend against sun damage.

In winter, protection becomes even more critical. Constant exposure to rain, hail, strong winds, road grime, and falling debris can strip away your paint’s clarity and lead to long-term damage like oxidation and surface degradation.

Our commercial-grade wax forms a strong, weather-resistant barrier that protects your paint for up to 3 months, and it can be easily maintained with reapplication each season — keeping your vehicle looking sharp all year round.

Not at all. We can arrange for your vehicle to be parked outside on your driveway or in a car port / garage where we can carry out the requested work while you are out. We’ll then email an invoice to you – so there’s no need to make it back to see us before we leave! How easy is that?
