Ceramic coating, paint correction and paint protection for Caulfield 3162 — mobile, at your home or workplace, or at our Berwick studio about 33 km away.
A car from Caulfield is usually garaged, serviced on time and genuinely cared for, which makes the paint worth doing properly. The work is in the detail: paint depth readings on every panel, the right approach for a hard German clear coat or a soft Japanese one, and no shortcuts on the finishing stage.
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 is exactly what gets done.
Around Caulfield Hospital.
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.
Paint depth readings and a close look under the lights before anything touches the car.
A full wash, then chemical and clay decontamination to strip out what washing leaves behind.
Correction matched to your paint - gentler on soft clear coats, more passes on hard ones.
The coating goes on panel by panel and cures under cover before the car goes back on the road.
Andy is mobile as well as studio-based, so the work can be done at your place in Caulfield 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.
Yes. Every car is measured panel by panel before correction, and the approach is set by what the clear coat will safely allow - which matters most on cars where a respray is not an acceptable outcome.
Unfortunately, yes. Pre-delivery washing and polishing is usually quick rather than careful. The marks are in the clear coat, not through it, and they correct out fully.
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.
