Professional paint protection for Ashwood 3147: decontamination, correction and a certified coating, carried out on site in Ashwood or at the CDS studio in Berwick.
A lot of what we see from Ashwood is good paint that has simply been washed the wrong way for a few years. Garaged, well kept, never neglected - and still covered in the fine circular marring a mitt and a hurried towel leave behind. That is exactly what measured correction is for.
There is no sales team and no subcontracting. Andy assesses, corrects and coats every car from Ashwood himself, with more than thirty years on paint behind him, and will tell you honestly if a job is not worth doing.

European clear coats are hard and take more passes to correct properly; Japanese and some EV finishes are soft and easy to over-polish. Each gets its own approach.
A fast rotary polish leaves buffer trails that only show in direct sun. We see plenty of cars that have been 'detailed' this way and need it undone before they can be coated.
Even garaged cars pick up fine dust, and car covers dragged across a dusty panel leave their own marring. A coating makes the surface far more forgiving of both.
Cars that only come out on good days still oxidise sitting still, and they are usually the ones owners most want kept perfect. They are ideal candidates for a multi-year system.
Paint depth readings and a close look under the lights before anything touches the car.
A full wash, then chemical and clay decontamination to strip out what washing leaves behind.
Correction matched to your paint - gentler on soft clear coats, more passes on hard ones.
The coating goes on panel by panel and cures under cover before the car goes back on the road.
We can come to you in Ashwood, or you can bring the car to the studio in Berwick, roughly 29 km away - both are on offer. Established homes usually have what a mobile job needs - a garage or carport, power and water - so most work here can be done on site while you get on with the day. If you are unsure, send a photo of where the car lives with your enquiry and we will work out the best option.
Yes. Older single-stage and early clear-coat paint needs a gentler approach and more care than a modern finish, which is exactly how we treat it.
A proper hand wash with a pH-neutral shampoo, and a check-over once a year. Avoid automatic brush washes - they are the fastest way to wear any coating down.
Yes - garaged cars have the best paint to protect. A coating keeps that finish from picking up wash marring and makes the car far easier to keep perfect between the days it comes out.
