Ceramic coating, paint correction and paint protection for Caldermeade 3984 — mobile, at your home or workplace, or at our Berwick studio about 28 km away.
Country driving out of Caldermeade means long kilometres, road film, bugs and whatever the season throws up from the paddocks. The value of a coating here is simple: the vehicle stays cleaner, cleans up faster, and holds its value better.
There is no sales team and no subcontracting. Andy assesses, corrects and coats every car from Caldermeade himself, with more than thirty years on paint behind him, and will tell you honestly if a job is not worth doing.
Summer dust coats everything and gets into door seals and vents. It is abrasive, so it has to be rinsed, not wiped.
Wet-season mud packs into arches, sills and underbodies and holds moisture against the metal.
Long highway runs leave bug residue on the front end and glass. It is acidic and etches if left; coated paint releases it easily.
Farm chemicals and fertiliser dust are harsh on paint and trim. Sealing the surface keeps them from getting a grip.
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 Caldermeade or at the Berwick studio, about 28 km away. A shed or a closed garage is ideal for a mobile job. Some owners would rather tie it in with a trip into town and leave the car at the studio instead. Tell us where the car is kept when you book and you will get a straight answer on which suits the job.
Yes - paint, trays, canopies and trim. A coated ute rinses clean after a day on the tracks.
Fresh bug residue comes off easily; etched marks can usually be polished out. On coated paint they barely stick.
Yes. Neither bonds to sealed paint the way it does to bare clear coat, so a hose does most of the cleaning.
