Professional paint protection for Clyde 3978: decontamination, correction and a certified coating, carried out on site in Clyde or at the CDS studio in Berwick.
Clyde is still being built around the people living in it, and that is a particular risk for a new car. Render spatter, paint mist from the house next door and fine cutting dust drift a long way on a windy day, and they bond to fresh clear coat rather than washing off.
Every Clyde 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 Orana Town Centre and Oak Park.
Brick and tile cutting throws up fine abrasive dust that settles on every car in the street. Wiping it off dry is how new paint gets scratched.
A new car's paint is the best it will ever be on delivery day. Sealing it before the first wash mark goes in is the cheapest protection there is.
New streets have little shade, so cars sit in unbroken sun most of the day. UV is what turns dark paint flat over a few summers.
Temporary roads and unsealed lots mean mud and clay thrown up the sills and wheel arches, which bakes on if it is left.
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.
We can come to you in Clyde, or you can bring the car to the studio in Berwick, roughly 12 km away - both are on offer. In a new estate the issue is dust from the building sites around you. A mobile job is done with the garage door down for that reason; if the garage is still full of boxes, the studio is the cleaner option. If you are unsure, send a photo of where the car lives with your enquiry and we will work out the best option.
Usually not. Dealer packages are typically a quick spray sealant that lasts months. A certified GYEON or ONYX coating is a different class of product and lasts years.
In the large majority of cases, yes. It sits on top of the clear coat and can be lifted off, provided it has not been left long enough to etch deeply.
As soon as you notice it. Fresh overspray lifts far more easily than overspray that has baked on through a hot week.
