Ceramic coating, paint correction and paint protection for Brighton 3186 — mobile, at your home or workplace, or at our Berwick studio about 34 km away.
Salt is the whole story in Brighton. Air off the water carries a fine saline film that settles on paint, trim and brightwork and keeps working on it long after the car looks dry.
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 Brighton is exactly what gets done.
Around Dendy Plaza, Gardenvale station and North Brighton station.
A fine saline film settles on the car constantly and attracts moisture. On a coated car it rinses off; on bare paint it sits and works away at it.
Sand is abrasive. Wiping it off a panel scratches the paint, and it packs into sills, seat rails and carpet.
Sun off the water adds to the direct UV load, which is what fades reds and blacks and chalks plastic trim.
Salt gets into stone chips and door-edge damage and starts corrosion faster than it would inland. Sealing the surrounding paint slows it down.
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 is mobile as well as studio-based, so the work can be done at your place in Brighton or at the Berwick studio, about 34 km away. 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. Tell us where the car is kept when you book and you will get a straight answer on which suits the job.
Yes. Salt holds moisture against the surface and accelerates corrosion wherever the paint is chipped. A coating stops the film bonding and lets it rinse away.
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.
