From swirl removal to a multi-year graphene coating, Carnegie cars are looked after two ways: mobile, at your place, or at our Berwick studio roughly 30 km up the road.
Cars in Carnegie deal with the pace of a busy centre: stop-start traffic, crowded car parks and street parking where every passing car and bike brushes a little closer than it should. Most of what that does to paint is surface damage, and surface damage can be corrected.
There is no sales team and no subcontracting. Andy assesses, corrects and coats every car from Carnegie himself, with more than thirty years on paint behind him, and will tell you honestly if a job is not worth doing.
Around Carnegie Central, Carnegie station and Packer Park.
Commuting, takeaway and passengers wear interiors quickly. Interior coatings keep fabric and leather from soaking up spills.
Exhaust and brake residue from heavy traffic forms an oily film that bonds to unprotected paint and makes a car look grubby within days of a wash.
Street parking means brushed flanks, transfer on bumper corners and door-edge chips. Transfer usually polishes off; a coating makes the next one easier.
Tight bays at busy centres mean door dings and scrapes. We correct what the clear coat allows and are straight about what needs a panel shop.
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 Carnegie and from the Berwick studio, which is about 30 km from you, so it is your choice. It comes down to parking. With a garage or an undercover space and access to power, mobile works well. If the car lives on the street, the studio is the better place for a coating to cure. Either way it is the same person, the same products and the same registered warranty.
That is traffic film re-bonding to bare paint. On coated paint it cannot key in the same way, so the car stays cleaner for longer.
Yes. Coated wheels stop brake dust baking on, and coated glass sheds rain at speed and cuts night glare.
We work seven days by appointment, mobile or in the studio, and will give you a realistic time window when you book.
