GYEON and ONYX ceramic coatings, machine paint correction and overspray removal for Elwood drivers. We come to you, or you bring the car to our Berwick studio (36 km from Elwood).
A lot of Elwood cars do few kilometres and still look tired, because the damage here comes from how they are stored and cleaned rather than how far they go. Nearly all of it is in the top of the clear coat, which means it can be corrected - and a coating makes the next three years much kinder.
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 Elwood is exactly what gets done.
Around Elwood Park.
Steel wheels on steel rails shed fine metal dust that settles on nearby cars and corrodes into the clear coat as tiny rust specks. It is dissolved chemically, never scrubbed.
Plane trees and elms line most streets here. Sap and bird droppings etch within a hot afternoon, and a street-parked car cannot be moved out from under them.
Bumper corners and wheel arches collect paint transfer from tight parks. Transfer sits on top of the paint and usually polishes off; kerbed wheels are a separate repair.
Basement stackers and narrow ramps leave scrapes along sills and mirrors. We correct what the clear coat allows and are straight about what needs a panel shop.
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.
CDS is mobile across Melbourne's south-east, Elwood included, and also runs a studio in Berwick (36 km from you) if you would rather drop the car in. Street parking and shared basements are the catch: a coating has to cure dry and under cover, and most body corporates do not allow water or power use in the car park. With a private garage, mobile works; without one, the studio is the better answer. Mention your parking set-up when you enquire and Andy will say honestly which way gives the better result.
A coating. It will not stop sap and droppings landing, but it stops them bonding, so they can be lifted off safely instead of leaving an etched ring.
Yes - it is our specialty. Concrete spatter and paint mist are removed without cutting into the clear coat, and we can provide a written assessment if you are claiming against the builder.
Yes. Coated wheels stop brake dust baking on, and coated glass sheds rain and cuts glare, which helps most in inner-city night driving.
