Professional paint protection for Gilderoy 3797: decontamination, correction and a certified coating, carried out on site in Gilderoy or at the CDS studio in Berwick.
Living in Gilderoy means a car that works across very different surfaces in a single week: sealed highway, gravel driveways, wet paddock edges and the odd cellar-door car park. Most of what that does to paint is abrasive, and abrasive damage is exactly what a sealed surface resists best.
There is no sales team and no subcontracting. Andy assesses, corrects and coats every car from Gilderoy himself, with more than thirty years on paint behind him, and will tell you honestly if a job is not worth doing.
Valley fog keeps panels wet well into the morning, which gives dust, sap and droppings longer to work on the paint.
Long highway drives at dusk coat the front of the car in insects. The residue is acidic and etches if it is left; coated paint releases it with a gentle wash.
Wet-season mud packs into wheel arches and sills and holds moisture against the metal. It releases far more easily from coated surfaces.
Eucalypts along the valley roads drop sticky, acidic sap that sets hard in the sun and etches a ring into unprotected clear coat.
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 Gilderoy, or you can bring the car to the studio in Berwick, roughly 38 km away - both are on offer. Valley mornings are foggy and the dew is heavy, so a coating has to cure under cover. A shed or garage makes a mobile job straightforward; without one, the studio is the safer choice. If you are unsure, send a photo of where the car lives with your enquiry and we will work out the best option.
Yes - paint, trays, canopies, bars and trim. A coated working vehicle takes a fraction of the time to clean.
Soak them rather than scrub them, and do it soon after the drive. On coated paint they barely stick; etched marks can usually be polished out.
No. Chips are impact damage and only paint protection film reduces them. A coating protects the surrounding paint and makes the car easier to keep clean.
