Ceramic coating, paint correction and paint protection for Caulfield South 3162 — mobile, at your home or workplace, or at our Berwick studio about 33 km away.
Most of what comes to us from Caulfield South is a late-model prestige car with dealer-installed swirl marks. Showroom washes, hand-car-wash queues and a quick polish before delivery leave fine marring and buffer trails that only show outside - and they are there on cars with delivery kilometres.
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 Caulfield South is exactly what gets done.
Around Calvary Kooyong Bethlehem Hospital and Princes Park.
Gloss-black pillars, grilles and interior trim scratch if you look at them. They can be refined and coated along with the paint.
Matte and satin paint cannot be machine-polished - polishing makes it glossy and cannot be undone. Tell us before you book so the car is handled correctly from the first wash.
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.
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 is mobile as well as studio-based, so the work can be done at your place in Caulfield South or at the Berwick studio, about 33 km away. 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. Tell us where the car is kept when you book and you will get a straight answer on which suits the job.
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.
