How we correct the paint
-
Decontamination wash
A full wash and claybar treatment lift embedded contaminants from the paint.
-
Paint depth check
A paint depth gauge reading confirms there is enough clear coat to work with safely.
-
Machine correction
Typically a heavy compound, then a finishing polish, both with a dual-action machine.
-
Protect the finish
A wax coat or sealant. Booking ceramic? We skip the wax and coat it the next day.

What cut & polish does
Cut & polish, also called paint correction or buff and polish, uses an abrasive compound to remove a microscopic layer of clear coat. That levels the surface and takes out the swirl marks, light scratches, watermarks and oxidation that make paint look dull.
The result is a deeper, glossier finish. Done properly, it is one of the biggest visual improvements you can make to a car short of a respray, and the right prep before ceramic coating.

FAQs
Cut & Polish FAQ
What Hamilton drivers ask before paint correction.
How long does cut & polish take?
Most cars take 4 to 6 hours for a proper multi-stage correction. Heavily oxidised or scratched cars can take longer. We give you a realistic timeline at booking.
Will it remove all scratches?
Light scratches and swirl marks come out completely. Deep scratches that have gone through the clear coat into the colour layer will be reduced but may not fully disappear. We assess and tell you upfront what we can achieve.
Do I need a cut & polish before ceramic coating?
Most cars do. Ceramic locks in whatever surface it goes onto, so any imperfections get sealed under the coating. We always recommend cut & polish before ceramic for the best result.
How often should I cut & polish?
Most well-cared-for cars only need it once every 2 to 4 years. Cars that live outside or get drive-through washed will need it more often.
