1 Step
A 1 Step Polish is a refinement-focused process ideal for vehicles with light to moderate paint defects. This service uses a single-stage polishing compound and machine polishing to enhance gloss while reducing minor imperfections.
What it involves:
-
Thorough exterior wash and decontamination
-
Using a 1 step polish
-
Light correction of swirl marks, light scratches, and haze
-
Refinement of the paint surface to improve clarity and shine
How it works:
The polishing compound gently levels the top layer of clear coat, smoothing out minor defects while enhancing gloss. This process improves the overall appearance without aggressively removing paint.
Benefits:
-
Noticeable improvement in gloss and clarity
-
Reduction of light swirl marks and imperfections
-
Faster turnaround compared to multi-stage correction
-
Ideal preparation for ceramic coating
-
Cost-effective enhancement option
A 1 Step Polish is perfect for well-maintained vehicles or those looking for a visible refresh without intensive correction.

2 Step
A 2 Step Cut & Polish is a more intense paint correction process designed for vehicles with moderate to heavy paint defects. This service is ideal for paintwork affected by deeper swirl marks, scratches, oxidation, water spotting, and general wear that cannot be corrected with a single-stage polish.
What it involves:
-
Thorough exterior wash and decontamination
-
Step 1 – Cutting stage using a machine polisher and cutting compound to remove deeper defects
-
Step 2 – Polishing stage to refine the paint, remove haze, and enhance clarity
-
Final surface inspection to ensure consistent correction across all panels
How it works:
-
The cutting stage removes a controlled amount of clear coat to level deeper imperfections and restore uniformity to the paint surface. Once defects are corrected, the polishing stage refines the surface by smoothing micro-marring left from the cutting process. This results in a high-gloss, defect-free finish with improved depth and colour clarity.
Benefits:
-
Reduction of existing swirl marks, scratches, and oxidation
-
Dramatically improved gloss, clarity, and colour depth
-
Restores dull or neglected paintwork
-
Creates an ideal surface for ceramic coating or paint protection
-
Long-lasting visual improvement with professional-level results
-
A 2 Step Cut & Polish is recommended for vehicles requiring maximum correction and is the best option for achieving the highest possible finish before applying long-term protection.
