Ceramic coating, paint correction and paint protection for Hallam 3803 — mobile, at your home or workplace, or at our Berwick studio about 8 km away.
Hallam sits beside working industry, and that changes what settles on a car here. Fine airborne metal, paint overspray from nearby workshops and grit from heavy vehicles land on horizontal panels and bond to the clear coat.
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 Hallam is exactly what gets done.
Around Hallam station, Spring Square and Ern Barker Reserve.
The plastic-bag test tells you: run your hand over a washed panel inside a thin bag. If it feels like fine sandpaper, the paint is contaminated.
Rail lines shed fine metal dust that behaves exactly like industrial fallout and needs the same chemical removal.
Industrial roads carry a lot of grit and brake dust, which loads wheels and lower panels faster than a normal suburban street.
Cars left in an industrial car park all day take the full dose. A coating is what stops the contamination bonding while you are at work.
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.
Andy is mobile as well as studio-based, so the work can be done at your place in Hallam or at the Berwick studio, about 8 km away. Work vehicles and fleets can be done at your workplace or depot so they are not off the road for a drop-off; private cars at home or in the studio, whichever is easier. Tell us where the car is kept when you book and you will get a straight answer on which suits the job.
No. Fallout is metal particle that corrodes into the clear coat; overspray is paint or similar material that bonds on top. They are removed differently, which is why we assess before touching the paint.
If it is left long enough to pit the clear coat, some marks may need correction and a few can be too deep to remove fully. Caught early, it comes out cleanly.
That is almost always bonded industrial fallout or overspray. A wash slides over it; it has to be removed chemically and with a clay treatment.
