From swirl removal to a multi-year graphene coating, Blind Bight cars are looked after two ways: mobile, at your place, or at our Berwick studio roughly 19 km up the road.
Living by the water in Blind Bight is hard on a car in ways that are easy to miss. Salt spray settles on every surface, the sun off the water is relentless, and sand finds its way into sills, wheel arches and carpet regardless of how careful anyone is.
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 Blind Bight is exactly what gets done.
Salt gets into stone chips and door-edge damage and starts corrosion faster than it would inland. Sealing the surrounding paint slows it down.
Towing through salt water and parking near the ramp puts salt straight onto the lower panels and wheels. They need a proper rinse, and coating makes that rinse effective.
Exterior metal trim pits and dulls in salt air. Coating it keeps it bright.
Wet towels, sunscreen and sand wear interiors quickly. Coated fabric and leather resist sunscreen marks and moisture.
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 Blind Bight and from the Berwick studio, which is about 19 km from you, so it is your choice. Near the water it is salt air and the sea breeze that matter: a coating needs to cure dry and out of the wind. A closed garage does that; otherwise the studio does. Either way it is the same person, the same products and the same registered warranty.
More often than inland - a thorough rinse after windy days and beach trips helps a lot. On a coated car that rinse does most of the work.
Yes. Brightwork and plastic trim suffer as much as paint by the water, and both can be coated.
Rinse the lower panels, wheels and the tow bar area after every ramp run. Coated wheels and sills make that rinse far more effective.
