From swirl removal to a multi-year graphene coating, Harkaway cars are looked after two ways: mobile, at your place, or at our Berwick studio roughly 5 km up the road.
Harkaway is big blocks and long gravel driveways, and that means dust. A fine abrasive film settles on the car every time it moves, and it is the reason acreage cars get scratched by the very act of cleaning them.
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 Harkaway is exactly what gets done.
Around Dalton Reserve.
Towing floats and trailers throws mud and grit up the back of the car and onto the tow bar area.
Wet-season mud packs into wheel arches and sills and holds moisture against the metal.
Open acreage means little shade and a lot of UV, which fades paint and chalks plastic trim.
Cars stored in sheds pick up hay dust, bird droppings from roosting birds and the odd rodent - interiors included.
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 works mobile in Harkaway and from the Berwick studio, which is about 5 km from you, so it is your choice. Acreage properties usually have the room, the shed and the power a mobile job needs, so on-site work suits most of what we do out here. Either way it is the same person, the same products and the same registered warranty.
Yes, and on dirt roads it is well worth it - brake dust and mud stop baking onto coated wheels.
Yes - it is one of the best places for one. Dust does not bond to sealed paint, so it rinses off instead of having to be wiped, which is what protects the finish.
Yes, including trays, canopies, bars and raw plastics. They benefit as much as the paint does.
