Professional paint protection for Eltham 3095: decontamination, correction and a certified coating, carried out on site in Eltham or at the CDS studio in Berwick.
The hills are beautiful and hard on paint. In Eltham a car spends most of its life in the shade of big trees, rarely fully dries after rain, and collects sap, moss and debris faster than almost anywhere else we service.
There is no sales team and no subcontracting. Andy assesses, corrects and coats every car from Eltham himself, with more than thirty years on paint behind him, and will tell you honestly if a job is not worth doing.
Around Eltham Square, Eltham Terrace and Eltham Town Mall.
The Ranges are full of birds, which means frequent droppings on cars parked under trees. Coated paint lets you remove them before they etch.
Fog and damp leave a film on the windscreen that makes wet-weather and night driving harder. Coated glass stays clearer and sheds water.
Gum sap is sticky and acidic. On a warm day it sets hard and etches a ring into the clear coat that no wash will remove.
Wet leaves sitting in the scuttle panel, on the roof or in door shuts leave brown tannin stains, especially on white and silver paint.
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.
We can come to you in Eltham, or you can bring the car to the studio in Berwick, roughly 40 km away - both are on offer. In the hills it is the damp and the tree canopy. A coating cannot cure under dripping trees, so a mobile job needs a garage or a good carport - otherwise the studio keeps it dry. If you are unsure, send a photo of where the car lives with your enquiry and we will work out the best option.
Yes, and in the hills it is one of the most useful things we do - coated glass sheds fog and rain far better.
We clean, decontaminate and coat wheels. Kerb damage to the rim itself is a wheel-repair job, and we will point you to someone good.
It will not stop sap landing, but it stops it bonding. On sealed paint you can lift sap off safely instead of finding an etched ring days later. Existing rings are polished out first.
