Professional paint protection for Gardenvale 3185: decontamination, correction and a certified coating, carried out on site in Gardenvale or at the CDS studio in Berwick.
Most of what comes to us from Gardenvale is a late-model prestige car with dealer-installed swirl marks. Showroom washes, hand-car-wash queues and a quick polish before delivery leave fine marring and buffer trails that only show outside - and they are there on cars with delivery kilometres.
Every Gardenvale 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 Gardenvale Park.
Many cars here already carry film on the front end. Film and coating work well together, and a coating over the film makes it easier to keep clean.
Cars that do few kilometres still oxidise and gather dust marks from covers and wipe-downs. They are ideal candidates for a multi-year system because the paint under them is so good.
BMW, Mercedes, Audi and Porsche paint is hard. It resists marring well, but it takes more passes and the right compound to correct, which is where a rushed job gives itself away.
Lexus, Mazda and Tesla finishes are the opposite - they correct easily and mark easily, so they are polished gently and benefit most from a hard coating on top.
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 Gardenvale, or you can bring the car to the studio in Berwick, roughly 34 km away - both are on offer. A garaged home suits a mobile visit well. For a multi-stage correction, where controlled lighting shows every last mark, the studio is the better room to work in. If you are unsure, send a photo of where the car lives with your enquiry and we will work out the best option.
We can wash and protect it correctly, but matte paint cannot be polished, so scratches cannot be corrected the way they can on gloss. Mention it when you book so there are no surprises.
Yes. If the clear coat is thin from previous polishing, or the defects are too deep to remove safely, you will hear that before any work starts.
Yes. Every car is measured panel by panel before correction, and the approach is set by what the clear coat will safely allow - which matters most on cars where a respray is not an acceptable outcome.
