GYEON and ONYX ceramic coatings, machine paint correction and overspray removal for Abbotsford drivers. We come to you, or you bring the car to our Berwick studio (40 km from Abbotsford).
In Abbotsford most cars live in a basement stacker or on the street, and almost nobody has a hose. That changes how a car gets cleaned - automatic washes and quick wipe-downs replace a proper hand wash - and it shows in the paint as swirls long before the car is old.
Every Abbotsford booking is handled by Andy himself — owner-operated, 30+ years on paint, and the same standard for a daily driver, a work ute or a weekend car. Tell us the car and what is bothering you and you will get a straight answer.
Around The Hive, Collingwood station and Victoria Park station.
Steel wheels on steel rails shed fine metal dust that settles on nearby cars and corrodes into the clear coat as tiny rust specks. It is dissolved chemically, never scrubbed.
Plane trees and elms line most streets here. Sap and bird droppings etch within a hot afternoon, and a street-parked car cannot be moved out from under them.
Bumper corners and wheel arches collect paint transfer from tight parks. Transfer sits on top of the paint and usually polishes off; kerbed wheels are a separate repair.
Basement stackers and narrow ramps leave scrapes along sills and mirrors. We correct what the clear coat allows and are straight about what needs a panel shop.
We inspect the paint under proper lighting and measure the clear coat, then tell you what it actually needs.
Iron-fallout treatment and a clay strip, so nothing is ever sealed in under the coating.
Machine polishing in measured stages to remove swirls and etching rather than fill them.
GYEON or ONYX applied panel by panel and cured under cover — in the studio, or in your garage on a mobile job — with the warranty registered.
CDS is mobile across Melbourne's south-east, Abbotsford included, and also runs a studio in Berwick (40 km from you) if you would rather drop the car in. Street parking and shared basements are the catch: a coating has to cure dry and under cover, and most body corporates do not allow water or power use in the car park. With a private garage, mobile works; without one, the studio is the better answer. Mention your parking set-up when you enquire and Andy will say honestly which way gives the better result.
A coating. It will not stop sap and droppings landing, but it stops them bonding, so they can be lifted off safely instead of leaving an etched ring.
Yes - it is our specialty. Concrete spatter and paint mist are removed without cutting into the clear coat, and we can provide a written assessment if you are claiming against the builder.
Yes. Coated wheels stop brake dust baking on, and coated glass sheds rain and cuts glare, which helps most in inner-city night driving.
