Cut & Polish Auckland
Bring back the shine. Our machine cut and polish removes swirl marks, light scratches and oxidation to restore a deep, wet-look gloss to your paintwork.
Over time, every car's paint picks up swirl marks, fine scratches, water spots and oxidation that dull the finish and rob it of shine. Our professional cut and polish service uses machine polishing to remove these imperfections and restore a deep, glossy, reflective finish.
A proper cut and polish is a skilled, multi-stage process — not a quick buff. We assess your paint, correct the defects with the right combination of compound, polish and pads, then lock in the results with protection. The transformation is often dramatic.
Cut and polish starts from $200 depending on your vehicle's size and paint condition. Request a free quote and we'll assess what your paint needs.

How It Works
Simple, Convenient, Mobile
Wash & Decontaminate
The paint is washed and decontaminated so polishing works on a clean surface.

We inspect the defects and test the right pad and compound combination for your paint.
Machine Cut & Polish
Defects are corrected and the finish is refined to a high gloss using machine polishers.
Protect The Finish
Protection is applied to seal in and preserve the freshly corrected paint.
What Is A Cut And Polish?
A cut and polish is a paint enhancement process that uses a machine polisher to remove a microscopic layer of clear coat along with the defects sitting in it. The 'cut' stage uses a more abrasive compound to remove swirls, light scratches and oxidation, while the 'polish' stage refines the surface to a high-gloss, swirl-free finish.
It's one of the most rewarding services we offer because the before-and-after difference is so striking. Dull, scratched, tired paint can be transformed into a glossy, reflective finish that looks years younger.
Signs Your Car Needs A Cut And Polish
If your paint isn't responding to washing and waxing the way it used to, a cut and polish is likely what it needs. Look out for these tell-tale signs:
- Spider-web swirl marks visible under sunlight
- Fine scratches you can't feel with a fingernail
- Dull, hazy or faded paint that lacks depth
- Water spots that won't wash off
- Light oxidation, especially on older or red/black cars
Protecting The Results
Freshly corrected paint is at its best and deserves to be protected. We finish every cut and polish with a layer of protection to seal the surface, enhance the gloss and make your paint easier to maintain going forward.
To keep the results looking their best, we recommend safe washing habits and periodic maintenance. Ask us about longer-lasting ceramic protection if you want maximum durability after correction.
