Cut & Polish Pricing
Restore Your Paint's Depth, Gloss & Shine
Over time, your car’s paintwork takes a beating. Fine scratches from automatic car washes, swirl marks from improper washing, road tar, oxidation, and everyday wear all dull the finish that once made your car look brand new.
A standard wash and wax won’t fix this. Cut and polish is the professional solution — and it’s one of the most dramatic transformations you can give your vehicle’s exterior.
At Sparky Car Wash, our trained detailers use professional-grade compounds, the right cutting pads, and carefully calibrated machine buffers to safely and effectively restore your paint’s clarity, depth, and gloss. We come to you anywhere across South East Melbourne, fully equipped and ready to deliver real results.

Why You Should Never Trust Cut & Polish to an Inexperienced Detailer
Right compounds for your paint type
Softer Japanese clear coats require gentler methods; harder European ceramic-infused paints need specialist compounds. We assess your vehicle before we start.

Proper refinement steps
Many detailers skip the finishing polish step and glaze over the result. Glazes temporarily hide scratches but wash away after rain. We don’t fill — we correct permanently.
No shortcuts
Clay bar decontamination before polishing is essential for a clean, safe surface. We never skip this step.
Frequently Asked Questions
Cut and polish is a paint correction process. The "cut" uses a fine machine compound to gently remove a microscopic layer of damaged clear coat, eliminating swirl marks and surface scratches. The "polish" that follows refines the surface to restore deep gloss and optical clarity.
When carried out correctly by an experienced detailer using the right compounds, pads, and technique, cut and polish is perfectly safe. Damage occurs when inexperienced operators use overly aggressive compounds at excessive speeds — which is why choosing a professional matters greatly. All Sparky detailers are trained to assess and work with your specific paint type.
Cut and polish effectively reduces or eliminates fine surface scratches and swirl marks within the clear coat. Very deep scratches that have cut through to the base coat or primer layer cannot be fully corrected with polishing and may require touch-up paint or respraying.
Results typically last 6–12 months with regular maintenance washes. Following up with a ceramic coating significantly extends the protection and keeps the gloss looking fresh far longer.
Yes — and we include a protective sealant as part of every cut and polish service. For longer-lasting protection, we also recommend considering our Ceramic Coating service, which provides years of hardened paint protection after correction.

After my dog made a mess of the back seats, I called Sparky for an Interior Detail. They got rid of all the pet hair and odours completely. My car now smells fresh and looks brand new again.
