From swirl removal to a multi-year graphene coating, Bentleigh cars are looked after two ways: mobile, at your place, or at our Berwick studio roughly 30 km up the road.
Most cars we see from Bentleigh have sound original paint under years of light marring, bird-dropping etching and a bit of fade on the roof and bonnet. That combination responds very well to a proper cut and polish, and a coating stops it coming straight back.
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 Bentleigh is exactly what gets done.
Around Bentleigh station, Patterson station and Halley Park.
If the plan is to keep the car for years, protecting it once properly costs less than repeated polishing that thins the clear coat each time.
Fast washes with one bucket and whatever towel is closest put circular marring into the paint that only shows in the sun. It is the single most common thing we correct.
When the garage holds one car, the rest live on the driveway or the street, taking full sun and whatever falls from the trees.
Droppings are acidic and etch into hot paint within an afternoon. Coated paint gives you the time to wipe them off safely.
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.
Andy works mobile in Bentleigh and from the Berwick studio, which is about 30 km from you, so it is your choice. Most family homes have a garage or carport, which is all a mobile job needs, and it saves you juggling a second car for the drop-off. Either way it is the same person, the same products and the same registered warranty.
Yes - swirls are fine scratches in the clear coat, and machine correction levels them out. The coating afterwards is what stops them coming straight back.
Yes. We deep-clean and coat leather, fabric and trim so spills, dye transfer and grime stop soaking in.
Most coatings are a one to three day job depending on how much correction the paint needs. You will get an exact timeframe when we assess it.
