From swirl removal to a multi-year graphene coating, Bend of Islands cars are looked after two ways: mobile, at your place, or at our Berwick studio roughly 38 km up the road.
Acreage living around Bend of Islands is hard on a car's finish: unsealed drives, dirt roads, sheds, horse floats and the ute that does the real work. Most of the damage we see is from grit - and grit is exactly what a coating is best at shrugging off.
CDS is owner-operated. The person who looks at your paint is the person who corrects and coats it — Andy, with 30+ years of experience — so what you are quoted for Bend of Islands is exactly what gets done.
Around Yering Gorge Bushland Reserve.
Towing floats and trailers throws mud and grit up the back of the car and onto the tow bar area.
Wet-season mud packs into wheel arches and sills and holds moisture against the metal.
Open acreage means little shade and a lot of UV, which fades paint and chalks plastic trim.
Cars stored in sheds pick up hay dust, bird droppings from roosting birds and the odd rodent - interiors included.
You get a straight assessment of what the paint needs, and what it does not.
Wash, iron treatment and clay, so the surface is genuinely clean before it is corrected.
Swirls, holograms and etching are levelled out by machine, measured as we go.
A certified coating, a proper cure, a registered warranty and a simple wash routine.
Andy works mobile in Bend of Islands and from the Berwick studio, which is about 38 km from you, so it is your choice. Acreage properties usually have the room, the shed and the power a mobile job needs, so on-site work suits most of what we do out here. Either way it is the same person, the same products and the same registered warranty.
Yes. Interior detailing handles dust, droppings and odour, and coating the fabric makes it easier to keep clean afterwards.
Rinse first with plenty of water to lift the grit, then wash - never wipe dust off dry. On coated paint the rinse does most of the job.
Yes, and on dirt roads it is well worth it - brake dust and mud stop baking onto coated wheels.
