GYEON and ONYX ceramic coatings, machine paint correction and overspray removal for Avonsleigh drivers. We come to you, or you bring the car to our Berwick studio (19 km from Avonsleigh).
The hills are beautiful and hard on paint. In Avonsleigh a car spends most of its life in the shade of big trees, rarely fully dries after rain, and collects sap, moss and debris faster than almost anywhere else we service.
Every Avonsleigh 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 Dunstan Road Reserve.
Mountain roads throw up grit and leaf debris into sills and wheels, and tight corners mean a lot of kerbed rims.
The Ranges are full of birds, which means frequent droppings on cars parked under trees. Coated paint lets you remove them before they etch.
Fog and damp leave a film on the windscreen that makes wet-weather and night driving harder. Coated glass stays clearer and sheds water.
Gum sap is sticky and acidic. On a warm day it sets hard and etches a ring into the clear coat that no wash will remove.
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, Avonsleigh included, and also runs a studio in Berwick (19 km from you) if you would rather drop the car in. In the hills it is the damp and the tree canopy. A coating cannot cure under dripping trees, so a mobile job needs a garage or a good carport - otherwise the studio keeps it dry. Mention your parking set-up when you enquire and Andy will say honestly which way gives the better result.
We clean, decontaminate and coat wheels. Kerb damage to the rim itself is a wheel-repair job, and we will point you to someone good.
It will not stop sap landing, but it stops it bonding. On sealed paint you can lift sap off safely instead of finding an etched ring days later. Existing rings are polished out first.
Usually. Tannin staining responds well to decontamination and a polish, and a coating makes it much harder for new stains to set.
