Professional paint protection for Ferny Creek 3786: decontamination, correction and a certified coating, carried out on site in Ferny Creek or at the CDS studio in Berwick.
Cars in Ferny Creek live under trees. Tall canopy means constant shade and damp, and with it eucalypt sap, leaf litter and bark that sit on the paint and hold moisture against it for days.
Every Ferny Creek 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 Dunns Hill.
Shade keeps the car wet for longer after rain and morning fog, which gives sap, droppings and fallout far more time to bite.
Cars parked under canopy grow moss in window rubbers and panel gaps, and mould inside if they are left closed and damp.
Falling bark and small branches scratch roofs and bonnets, and dropped debris in the cowl blocks drains.
Mountain roads throw up grit and leaf debris into sills and wheels, and tight corners mean a lot of kerbed rims.
You get a straight assessment of what the paint needs, and what it does not.
Wash, iron treatment and clay, so the surface is genuinely clean before it is corrected.
Swirls, holograms and etching are levelled out by machine, measured as we go.
A certified coating, a proper cure, a registered warranty and a simple wash routine.
We can come to you in Ferny Creek, or you can bring the car to the studio in Berwick, roughly 18 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.
We clean seals and door shuts as part of a proper detail, and treating the rubbers helps stop it coming back.
More than almost anywhere else. Shade, damp and sap are exactly the conditions a coating is built to handle.
Yes, and in the hills it is one of the most useful things we do - coated glass sheds fog and rain far better.
