Professional paint protection for Caulfield North 3161: decontamination, correction and a certified coating, carried out on site in Caulfield North or at the CDS studio in Berwick.
Caulfield North has one of the highest concentrations of European and performance cars in Melbourne, and owners who look at their paint in direct sun. That is the standard we work to: measured, multi-stage correction, and a coating chosen for how the finish reads, not just how long it lasts.
Every Caulfield North booking is handled by Andy himself — owner-operated, 30+ years on paint, and the same standard for a daily driver, a work ute or a weekend car. Tell us the car and what is bothering you and you will get a straight answer.
Around Alma Village and Eskdale Park.
Many cars here already carry film on the front end. Film and coating work well together, and a coating over the film makes it easier to keep clean.
Cars that do few kilometres still oxidise and gather dust marks from covers and wipe-downs. They are ideal candidates for a multi-year system because the paint under them is so good.
BMW, Mercedes, Audi and Porsche paint is hard. It resists marring well, but it takes more passes and the right compound to correct, which is where a rushed job gives itself away.
Lexus, Mazda and Tesla finishes are the opposite - they correct easily and mark easily, so they are polished gently and benefit most from a hard coating on top.
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.
We can come to you in Caulfield North, or you can bring the car to the studio in Berwick, roughly 34 km away - both are on offer. A garaged home suits a mobile visit well. For a multi-stage correction, where controlled lighting shows every last mark, the studio is the better room to work in. If you are unsure, send a photo of where the car lives with your enquiry and we will work out the best option.
For a garaged car where clarity in direct sun matters most we generally lean GYEON; for one that is driven daily and parked outside, ONYX 10H graphene for durability. Often either is a good answer and we will say so.
Yes. The coating goes over the film as well as the paint. It adds chemical resistance the film lacks and makes the whole car easier to wash.
We can wash and protect it correctly, but matte paint cannot be polished, so scratches cannot be corrected the way they can on gloss. Mention it when you book so there are no surprises.
