From swirl removal to a multi-year graphene coating, Croydon North cars are looked after two ways: mobile, at your place, or at our Berwick studio roughly 30 km up the road.
Most cars we see from Croydon North have sound original paint under years of light marring, bird-dropping etching and a bit of fade on the roof and bonnet. That combination responds very well to a proper cut and polish, and a coating stops it coming straight back.
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 Croydon North is exactly what gets done.
Around Maroondah Village Shopping Centre and Brushy Park.
Roofs, bonnets and boot lids take the most sun. On reds and dark colours that shows up as a flat, chalky finish that a wash no longer shifts.
Food, drinks, muddy boots and dog hair. Interior coatings seal fabric and leather so spills can be blotted up instead of soaking in.
Shopping-centre car parks leave light scuffs and transfer on door edges. Transfer can usually be polished off; a coating makes the next one easier to remove.
Stop-start suburban driving loads wheels with hot brake dust that bakes into the finish. Coated wheels rinse clean instead.
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 works mobile in Croydon North and from the Berwick studio, which is about 30 km from you, so it is your choice. Most family homes have a garage or carport, which is all a mobile job needs, and it saves you juggling a second car for the drop-off. Either way it is the same person, the same products and the same registered warranty.
Just avoid automatic brush washes and use a proper car shampoo. The coating makes everything else easier.
Often more than on a show car. A family car gets washed quickly and often, and a coating makes those washes far less damaging while keeping mess from sticking.
Yes - swirls are fine scratches in the clear coat, and machine correction levels them out. The coating afterwards is what stops them coming straight back.
