Cut & Polish Perth

Paint that's picked up genuine wear — moderate swirl marks, scratches, water spot etching, oxidation from months or years in the sun — needs more than a single polishing pass to properly correct. Cut & polish is the multi-stage machine correction built for that level of work.

Cut & Polish Perth by Ready Wheels
  • Paint inspection to assess defect depth and choose the right compound/pad combination
  • Compounding stage to cut back and level out defects
  • Polishing stage to refine the finish and restore gloss
  • Wipe-down to remove polishing oils and prepare the surface for protection

Depending on the paint's condition, this may run one or multiple passes across different panels — a car with uneven wear (bonnet and roof more sun-exposed than the sides, for instance) is often corrected panel by panel rather than uniformly.

Correction removes a very thin layer of clear coat to level out defects — it works well for swirl marks, moderate scratches, and oxidation, but it doesn't fix scratches that have gone through the clear coat into the base colour or bare metal, and it can't be repeated indefinitely on the same panel without eventually thinning the clear coat too far. Deep scratches through the clear coat need paint touch-up or a respray, not correction.

Cut & polish is the standard prep step before ceramic coating on paint that's genuinely neglected — coating locks in whatever the surface looks like at application, so correcting first is what makes the long-term result actually worth it.

Quoted based on vehicle size and paint condition — a car with light, even wear costs less to correct than one with heavy, inconsistent damage across multiple panels. Get in touch for an assessment and quote.

Depends on the paint's condition — light, even swirling might need a single compound-and-polish pass, while heavier or inconsistent damage across panels can need multiple passes with different compounds. This is assessed at inspection, not guessed at booking.

No — correction works within the clear coat. Scratches through to the base colour or metal need touch-up paint or a respray, which is a different job entirely.

Yes, recommended if the paint shows visible swirl marks, scratches or oxidation — coating bonds to the surface as-is, so correcting first gives a genuinely better long-term result.

Correction alone will start to dull again with regular washing and UV exposure over weeks to months. Most people follow it with a sealant or ceramic coating specifically to protect and extend the result.
